Ask me how many times I've goosed the throttle after landing thinking I'm retracting the flaps. Me thinks I'll put the motor on a switch like my ALES plane.

I believe Charlie Morris (cptsnoopy) uses that idea. It is in a thread somewhere.

This has got to be the perfect ready made solution and they can be bought almost anywhere very cheap! ...Perfek!

That's good for keeping it from flying away but it doesn't help you keep control of the thing.

I may have misunderstood what this thread was about I thought it about preventing TX's flying out of peoples hands.
There is another thread I was looking at which is a novel idea = http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1603965
I don't seem to have a problem with my DX8 as the stick recesses are quite deep.

Edit: Ok, I just had a go at using the Wii strap, Yes it would prevent the TX from being thrown to the ground but for keeping the TX in position in the hand it's a failure without major surgery!
