Joe's new 2.4 handle set up
« on: August 16, 2013, 04:23:45 PM »
Some may be aware of my system of hanging the TX around my waist in a box and supporting that box with cords around my waist and neck.  While this has worked fairly well I decided to give the attached a try.  It works ell with my slightly crippled right hand.  The wood handle that is supported and held to the TX is one that origin ally was left over from a series of 50 3-line handles I sold several years ago. The handle is "tied" to the TX with two heavy wire ties and currently with several layers of electrical tape.  If I get to go shopping soon I will try to find the tennis racket tape every one talks about.  I have pull tested this arrangement to over 50 pounds of steady and held pressure.  I think I was very lucky to have the wooded handle fit exactly within the TX's molded frame.

I like it. The handle does all the "work", and the transmitter comes along for the ride! As long as it's comfortable to use, why not?  H^^

Bill, the new handle set up is really comfortable.  I have now attached two pictures to explain.  First pic shows my right hand. The first finger on the hand (trigger finger) has a permanent 90 degree bend and moves very little. I lost an argument with a APC 11x4 one morning and ended up with the finger with the new shape and dexterity.  The second pic is how I hold any CL handle. My trigger finger is almost always held on the outside of the handle in a "U" shaped piece of plywood.  In the 2.4 handle there is a conveniently shelf where he finger lays.  I now use my index finger to control the trigger on the TX.
