As many people know there are several handles available on the specialty market. My cable, Barron style, of handle has been very popular for several years. Last year when it was apparent that some people wanted a hard point handle. I decided to make a fineite adjustable style. That has sold well but there was still a call for the cablel style. I have decided to make both again, with a twist. The cable style will be available at a cost of $35.00 each. If you wish, I have decided to offer a combo package consisting of a cable handle with a second hard point bar to allow you to convert the cable to hard point any time you chose. The cost for the combo will be $50.00 postage included.
The hard point by its self will be $30.00.
As a note to why this is necessary and to fill in those that did not realise it, Billy Werwage used my cable handle to win the worlds.
Both Bob Gieseke and Mike Scott have gone back to the cable style.
Available in large or small size.
There is a reason for that. You can not use a hard point on solid lines, I am told. I have never tried them but I take Bob Gieseke's word on this.
The cable style allows you to adjust line length at will. You will not have to fool with different length line clips and you can use solid lines.
The bigest problem with hard point handles is you must use different length line clips because if you adjust the lenght by moving the bar in or out you change the overhang and that will change the control input and affect the complete feel of the handle.
The overhang is a very big part of an adjustabl handle. The father out your pivot point is the more dead the aircraft is at nutral. When you change line length by moving the attachment point on the hard point handle in or out, you also chenge the over hang. That changes the handle completely.
I guess cables must be ok if Bill Werwage found them to his liking. He is the WORLD CHAMPION.
