RE: Neck Strap or not?

JR neck strap. I have a BVM Tray, but I didn't like the feel of it. I may try it again sometime, but it just feels stange to me.

Can't fly without it.
Keeps you in better control especially when trimming and when flying a model that requires hitting switches for gear, flaps, ect.

Highly recommend

It looks like the strap vs. no strap is about 2 to 1 in favor of the strap. I fly with thumb and index finger and just purchased a neck strap. I'm going to try it and see what all you strap guys are talking about. Anybody know how long it takes to get used to it?

I started using a strap last Dec during the time I was putting together my first Big Boomer. I stood in front of my computer flight sim and got everything adjusted so I could get used to the strap. Still didn't feel right. So I practiced every day for about 2 weeks. Couldn't fly outside because the weather was too bad. Everytime I practiced on the flight sim it felt more natural. I would say it took about a month for me before I really got used to it and now I fly with it all the time. One of the benefits that I have noticed is that my flying has become smoother.

Thanks Roy. I'll try it for awhile and see how it goes. Happy new year to you. The Panther is ready to go.
