As the title states, do you use lanyards for your tx? I always thought they were for pansies until I started using them, now I quite like them. I have lost a plane due to dropping the tx though.

I use one from time to time with planes but almost always with quadcopter that are in the air for almost half an hour. A german flyer here use to use a transmiter tray kind of looked like a cigarette girls tray.

I used to but don't now. My 11yr old does, other sons don't (probably because I don't?) I don't recall why I stopped, probably pure laziness   |

Yeah, I do - lazy. Started when I was flying sailplanes with fight times > 20 minutes which is too long to hold the tx comfortably.

Yeah, long FPV missions got me hooked, but it is also nice to be able to throttle the plane up then have both hands free if need be, or your left hand on the elevator/ailerons so you can throw with your right.

I got one when I started hand launching and needed to steer and hold the transmitter with one hand.

I do not. But after today I am trying to find one. Never had anything that would fly for longer than 10 minutes until now. And it was cold today. Would have been nice to be able to warm up my hands without worrying about dropping the tx.

It is nice to toss your plane in stabilized mode or RTH, let the thing dangle, and be able to take a drink of water or readjust your goggles or whatever. |

This evening I just let my plane loiter in big lazy circles while I watched the sunset. Lounging in the back of my SUV with my hands in my pockets. |
