Cees...I think you did not read Arch's post. The way I read both of your posts was that you relayed a story of events that happened to you and Arch stated that even though that did happen it is a very slim chance to be repeated and did not really bear on the issue at hand. Am I mistaken in this?

At any rate, back on subject...I pinch and just started to use a strap. The strap is optional but I tried flying with my thumbs up on the sticks and it was worse than my flying by pinching the sticks which is really bad.
