Tx position?

[Nick B]

Ok,this may sound slightly goonish or it may be just a great idea,probably the former

When im on the sim i dont have the tx in the same position i do when at the field.I have the base of the tx about 4-6 inches away from my belly and it feels nice,i get good inputs and when im at the field i feel a little bit funny with my elbows stuck out the back like chicken wings and im sort of on top of the tx,its hard to explain properly.So i have cut out a rectangular piece of closed cell neoprene and velcro'd it to the tx base so my tx is approximatly 4" out in front of me and my elbows are just above my hips,it feels like it does when on the sim and its comfy.I'm going to try it tommorow and just could'nt help wonder if this is why fat men can fly well?????

Let the mickey taking commence!

Great idea Nick!, in fact im gonna take a leaf out of your book and take the settee down the field, stretch out with a cusion behind me and a brew at the ready!

[Nick B]

I know gaz, sorry nick but you did expect some **** taking didnt you lol. To be fair i have tried to position the TX as i would have it when im on the sim but it just wont hang right on the strap with the ariel pointing straight to the floor. I suppose TX trays are ideal for this but that opens a big door to the **** taking and rightly so lol.
You end up looking like robo-pilot

[Nick B]

I'd expect nothing less Tony,hence the word 'goonish'
It's not as gay looking as the gay tray its not very modern looking but i know im probably putting in better inputs

just need the rain to bugger off and can try it out

Maybe try lowering your TX's neck strap so it stretches your arms out a bit more .

[Nick B]

Tried all strap lengths mate,be fine if was a thumber but im pinch.

I tried tht and it helps me fly betta!! in fact sometimes i fly with out my neckstrap and just point the tx down to the ground and almost on my legs!! really comfortable.
