Steve Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I am about to buy a pair of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Easy-Handles- ... 714wt_1398 Just wondered if anyone has used them on a wing that doesn't have this option already. They look like a good alternative to taking a wrap for landing, the only down side being they shorten the brake lines by 2cm (although easily fixed). Good price too. Steve.

Steve Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Used them for the first time yesterday, just for the landing flare. They seem excellent and the guy who sells them keeps in contact and sends them quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgy Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Same handles i posted above tom I have now had a chance to use them, there are ok and take a little getting used too and take more time to get everything sorted on take off as they catch lines etc. but once in the air there fine. Much better feel and more brake travel when coming into land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s1buell_wl Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 You know what they would be great for landing never thought of that. Also could be a pain on launch...... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
