It would be nice if the remote could have some way to attach a tether so it would be less likely to fall on the floor when not being actively used.

Mike,

I actual used a small square of Velcro and stick it on the center console of my 172 by the trim wheel. I personally like the use of Velcro versus a cord that might get in the way. You could also probably find a retractable keychain and stick it to your panel, that way it will just retract up when not in use. Just a few ideas.

I second the velcro method. My iFly sticks out from the panel, and both the battery (if needed) and remote are balanced and velcro'd to the top of the iFly.

If you don't like the velcro option, Shane has a good idea with the retractable keychain. Here at work we have badge-triggered door locks, and the badge around my neck is on a retractable thingy so I don't have to stoop toward the reader each time I open a door. It'd work great for your purposes. I wouldn't attach it to the iFly tho, because with my luck it'd slip from my hand and crack the screen.
