Good for you!
Sounds like you're really working out the kinks and getting comfortable with everything.
I don't have to have the I pilot link remote up front in the way or around my neck.
I have thought about the neck thing and that really bugs me. The last thing I would want is a large pendant hanging from my neck all the time. I can see that driving me absolutely insane. So, if I was ever to buy something that comes with a neck pendant, I would seriously have to look into alternate methods of controlling it.
