I get too dizzy to fly with a handle - thats why I went to this. The RC transmitter stick works just like a small CL handle and any experienced CL pilot should be able to fly it easily.
I put the tether about 1 in behind the CG to help keep tension on the line. The line is made of either 10 or 20 lb. test monofiliment fishing line. There is also a lot of rudder offset to help keep tension in the overheads.
