stepped outside to fly, noticed i forgot to put knobs on controller, too lazy, to go back in, gave it a try, i Liked It, in a way! kept me from leadfootin it.
 
I always leave my controller arms on but always carry a spare set in my case, well you never know?

I bet it was quite interesting flying it without the sticks, more concentration manoeuvring the drone about.?

Quite the crazy situation but to each their own. Haha.
 
I always Store my M2P controller arms (sticks) in the compartment below the arms that fold out. Made for that and keeps me from forgetting them.

I removed the rubber arm holders from the controller so my PP mount fitted better, more secure now holding my cs?
 
My Mavic Air came with two sets, (is that normal)?. I leave one on and one set it the holding spot on the controller. It also came with an extra set of blades.

Well they do with the M2’s so I would say yes to the Mavic Air.

Yes the MA comes with a spare set. Nice to have but I never take mine off so I don't think I'll ever use them.

I was screwing in my knobs - maybe I had better rephrase that. I was attaching the joysticks (does that pass the censor!?) to my Smart Controller and dropped one as I was attaching. Lucky I was on frozen snow and it did not sink. I now have the PGYTech screen/knob protector and leave them attached and it still fits in my case. Also, for the SC, you can get 4m screws of whatever length and they fit the joystick threads. So cheap backup.
