Last Friday I lent my RC and Tiny Whoop to one of our CNY Drones mentors working with an 11 year old. At first, I had a sick feeling when I saw the kid walk back to me with my lanyard in one hand – the one that came with my Taranis X7. He dropped it on the table in front of me. The controller in his other hand. I admit that my next thought was that he dropped my new RC. Then the mentor walked up and took my RC and his own lanyard. Click and a little quick strap adjustment and away they went. I get it now – time to spend $5 (+ shipping). Especially a good idea for a RC that is used by many – like a class, a family that shares their equipment or group you could be working with. All you teachers out there – this appears to be money well spent. And – thanks to John, here’s a video on the very strap mentioned.

Just want to add that with that particular lanyard the connection to the radio can accidentally come unattached. Just add a key ring between the lanyard and the connection to avoid this problem. See here:

Or you can solder the connector closed once connected to the radio just place something protective under your work area to protect your radio from solder drips
