Hi FrankHawks
I never have used a neck strap for that same reason. Could be very dangerous. Now that I'm getting old I have more difficulty holding the transmitter because some of my fingers have deformed or curled up. I may eventually be forced to use a neck strap. I have promised myself that I will keep the neck strap in my pants pocket, with no part sticking out. Once I have the plane started and have moved it off the Engine Starting Safety Stand and placed it on the ground, I will take the strap out of my pocket, place it around my neck, pick up the transmitter, and attach the strap clip to the transmitter. Upon landing I will reverse the procedure. That is my current plan. Any comments on this?
