I don't know if this is universal, but I got
a Multiplex transmitter tray for my Profi 4000. I figured that since I was
accustomed to using a harness for my transmitter, the tray wouldn't be much
different - only more stable. I was wrong. I'm accustomed to flying
with my thumbs and the tray pretty much forced me to use my fingertips.
All of the muscle memory that was trained into my thumbs went out the
window. I was lucky to get my plane back in one piece the first time I
tried it. For the moment, my tray is in retirement. I'm planning to
acclimate myself to it on the simulator this winter.
I don't want to argue with Gordy, but I've
used my transmitter mitt on the slope a bit and it seems to be OK. I have
used it with a DLG, and with an electric - both were also OK. I don't
pull out the mitt until it gets really cold, though. I use gloves with the
fingertips cut open much more often.
