Just thumb or with index finger too?

Hey guys, way just wondering how people hold their remote controller while piloting the aircraft.

Are you holding it with just your thumb? With thumb and index finger? Or maybe in a completely different way?

I like to control the sticks with just my thumbs. I find it's most comfortable and easier to keep my thumbs on the sticks when using the PhantomKnobs (also available here).

I hold it with both hands and use my thumbs to control the sticks. Holding it with one thumb or a thumb and index finger would be difficult, if not impossible, considering the balance and weight issues inherent with such a configuration.

Whatever is most comfortable for you is best, the tips of the sticks are castellated so they don’t slip out from under a thumb- a pinched grip can allow for more precise control when you need it though.
