Fit and Compatibility
The carry handle clamp fits radios that measure 4-3/4 to 9-5/8 in. Measure your own radio from the top of the carry handle to the base of the transmitter case; if that measurement falls in the range, the tray fits.
Fits Spektrum, Futaba, RadioMaster, FrSky (including Horus) and FlySky radios. Most current radios from those brands sit comfortably inside the range. If you use a collapsible carry handle, a custom clamp will need to be designed for you. Reach out, and we will get measurements needed to design it so your transmitter can be secured to the tray.
If your radio measures outside it, email sales@flyingtigerrc.com before ordering and we will tell you honestly whether it will work. The tray angle and hand pad placement are both adjustable, so fit is usually solvable, but we would rather say so up front than have you return it.
Thumb flyers, pinchers, and how it looks
Pinchers and thumb flyers both fly with this tray. If you fly with your thumbs on top of the sticks, take the hand pads off: the tray is built to work either way, and it fits wider radios without the pads.
A tray does look different from a neck strap the first time you see one. That is the honest trade. It sits in front of you instead of hanging off your neck, and that is exactly what takes the weight off your neck and steadies the sticks.
What is in the box
Transmitter tray. Precision-cut aluminum, hand-assembled and inspected.
Two-point shoulder harness. This is the part most trays get wrong. A single-point neck strap hangs the full weight of the radio from your neck, which is what causes the ache after twenty minutes. A two-point harness splits that weight across both shoulders. Comparable trays ship with a single-point neck strap and sell the two-point harness separately. Ours comes with it fitted.
Neoprene hand pads. Cushion the wrists on long flying days.
Mounting hardware. Everything needed to assemble, nothing to source yourself.

Materials and construction
The frame is precision-cut 5052 H32 aluminum, chosen for strength-to-weight and for how well it takes a bend without cracking. Light enough to fly with all day, strong enough to last years.
Hand pads are soft neoprene.
Every tray is hand-assembled and inspected before it ships.
Proudly veteran-owned and hand-assembled in America.
Return & Refund Policy
60-day money-back guarantee. If it is not right for you, send it back within 60 days of delivery, no questions asked. Email sales@flyingtigerrc.com and we will sort it out.
Two-point harness
Get the radio off your neck.
The weight goes to your shoulders, where your body carries it naturally.
| Neck strap | Two-point |
|---|---|
| Weight hangs on your neck | Weight sits on both shoulders |
| Swings from one point | Two points keep the radio centered |
| Pilots tuck a towel under it to stop the rubbing | Padded back panel |
Built by someone who needed one
Flying Tiger RC's transmitter tray was designed by Guy Caputo after a motorcycle crash at 250mph+ left him with severe physical disabilities. He built it because he wanted to keep flying, and the tray is what made that possible again. Whether you are an IMAC competitor, a scale flyer, or flying just for fun, this tray lets you focus on the maneuver instead of fighting fatigue.
It is also a genuine help if you deal with arthritis, tremors or reduced grip strength. The tray carries the weight and steadies the radio, which is often the difference between flying comfortably and not flying at all.
