ALL these ????'s and I have yet another. in most of the videos I've seen, no one is using a radio neck strap. I don't have one either. just want to be sure when I show up at thet flight line that I wont be gigged for not having one. So, do I need or should I have a radio neck strap?
billd76:
My suggestion: Try not using a radio neck strap at first, since it would be another hazard with the turning propeller (you will have many other things to pay attention to).
Once you have learned with no strap, it will be easy to try one; better than the other way around.
Just relax and show up at your flying club, where you will find all the help and advice that you will need to do just fine.
Most of aeromodellers are helpful and are there to fly and enjoy rather than to make fun of others.
All you have to do is to pay close attention to your instructor, to comply with the safety rules, and to practice as much as you can.
Best wishes!
