im just getting back into this hobby. back in 1976 i had what i thimk was called a BOB HUNT handle, it had a knob at the bottom that you could adjust while in the air. anybody hear of them if so can you still get them?

You might take a look here-

Brodak has several adjustable handles listed but not much for pictures.

I don't know if Bob is making handles at the moment. I doubt it.

Try doing a search for "handles". There was a pretty long discussion about handles on here not too long ago.

I can't speak offhand for the Hunt handles, but various models of handles are available from several sources. Tom Morris has a very nice low-priced handle if you like the slant-wrist type. Windy Urtnowski, RSM Distributiion, I think Tom Dixon, and Jim Ehlers of Minneapolis all sell adjustable handles. I expect our host Leonard could supply something as well.
Windy, Tom D, RSM, and Leonard all have web sites. Tom M. and Jim E. advertise in Stunt News, or can be found on the PAMPA site.

Bob Hunt's late father Jim actually manufactured the handle. I talked to Jim about his handles a few years ago, and he told me that he stopped manufacturing them when the electrical wiring shorted out in his handle mold. Perhaps John Brodak has the tooling now.

Hmm. Jim Hunt told me and 4 others at the last Brodaks that he and Bob quit making them after the big law suit that the EZ Just people went through when the moron that electocuted himselfs wife sued everyone even remotley related to her husbands equipment. I got one in 1973 and like a fool sold it to a friend in St. Louis and he still has it, and no, he will not sell it back to me.

Mezjlik has one with a knob you can adjust at the top. See:

Don't know how appropriate it'd be for Stunt, though.

attended a combat match the first of May. Saw a lot of handles like this that looked like they are made of plastic. Check with any combat fliers you know. Would love to have a couple myself.

Hey Brad,

The clostest thing I have found to the old CSC handle is the one Catdaddy posted in this thread.. http://clstunt.com/htdocs/dcforum/DCForumID1/4861.html

Funny the only item I held on to all these years was my CSC handle.

hey bob i had one sold to llloyd he said he isgoing to look for it. i did get my fox combat handle back though

I will bring mine to Brodaks and you are welcome to use it if Lloyd doesn't find yours...
