That shouldn’t be a problem the the neo 2 for sure. I’m sure after several times of changing the battery it won’t be a big deal. I’m opting for a case as well because of the bug like antennas worry me. It seems like it could be damaged easily trying to say put it in a jacket pocket. I took my first flight awhile ago and I miss using a lanyard. I’m need to look for the clip style I think for my RCN3. I like the way it feels right out of the box so far. It really expands the ability of what the neo is with it’s extra features. Looking forward to reading this thread.
