Tx mitt ???

[aevans692]

Was out flying yesterday and it was getting cold I found my hands were getting really cold, so I thought about getting a TX mitt , but there not cheap in the uk £40 thats about $80us . lol. that's my Kasama tail grips ..

I just wanted to know if any one is using them and do they work well?, my only worry is that can it effect your switches ? ( throt cut) ???

any thought would be great..

merry Xmas

The UK made one is nice, but expensive. There are a couple of cheaper ones (still nice) made and sold in the US.

I have the JT Models one and it's nice and roomy (and toasty). I would advise getting the optional stand-off; it'll keep the mitt from resting on the back of your hands and restricting movement. I used it a couple of days ago and didn't see any significant restriction in operation of the controls with the stand-off installed on the radio.

I use a neck strap and figured that their solution for the strap connection would hold the thing off my hands and radio.

Nice to know they are toasty. I have to get one.

I went out this morning to fly and I could only manage two ten min flights, my hands were so so cold, by the end of my last flight my fingers were so slow .. lol

So I went and got myself a Radiowarm mitt , It has elastic cuffs, back and neck strap, it has ridged sides , and is fleeced lined It looks like it will do the job I have not had chance to test it yet, It was £40 so about $80 so it best work really well lol..
