Chris,

I like the Velcro strap-on PTT.

I put it around the pretzel yoke, at the upper right corner, about 2:00
o'clock, angled down for my thumb.  This went well with my hand gripping the
yoke at the top-center (which prevents a yoke-turn in unexpected, sudden
turbulence g-loads).

This made pushing the PTT something delegated to my cerebellum.  If I wanted
to talk outside the plane, my cerebellum pushed my thumb on the switch with
no demand on my higher brain function.

I guess, if you wanted to show off the plane as being in "original"
condition at an air show, you could quickly unwrap the Velcro and hide the
PTT.
