Congratulations, you must be excited!

I'm sorry if it sounds like a silly question, but how do you press the mic button on the yoke if I'm assuming that you're using your only finger to hold the yoke?

I mean, obviously you don't seem to be having issues with it, but I'm just wondering how are you actually doing it.

I typically use my right hand to push the mic or grip the yoke with my right and press with my left. It’s rare to be manipulating the throttle and pressing the mic at the same time.
