Used to fly C/L carrier landing competitions in the 60's. No lines included.
Formerly used to fly a F4F Corsair/McCoy .49 (sic) w/exhaust throttle.
$20 or swap for "interesting" Cox or Cox parts.

Not able to send picture but could find a means if you are SERIOUSLY interested. Would you be interested in a cash purchase or a swap for Cox/Cox parts?
The C/L control handle is orange and in "like new" condition. I used it only a few times to fly with an exhaust throttle for C/L carrier landing events.

Re: Swap/Sell: J. Roberts Three Wire flying handle
I've got a stooge. It's a 8 hole red brick with two big zip ties through it, through which I slide a 14" steel shishkabob skewer and a pull string.
I got the string wrapped around my ankles once. With every lap my feet got closer and closer together. I was praying for it to run out of fuel. By the time it finally did, my feet were mummified and I fell down. My wife had to come unwrap me while I lay on the grass. After that I learned to toss the handle way away.

I'm at 98387 so for a straight cash deal I'd cover the shipping.

Where you still at JBLM I could hand-deliver it! Ft. Hood, TX (home of Major Nadal Hassan), I don't think so.
I can't do anything with this until after Labor Day Weekend when I return to Spanaway.

Will do as soon as I return home after Labor Day. I want the handle in hand before I enter into a transaction.

Do you want to post a image (.png, .gif, .jpg...) or a file (.pdf, .zip, .rtf...)? I currently don't have the upload file feature available since it would take up space for the gallery. If it is a file, you can host it here and then paste the url to the download on the forum. If it is an image, you can upload it using the Host an Image button on the above button bar.

re: J Roberts 3 wire U-control handle
I have the subject handle in my hand but can't find the bellcrank that is essential to it. Will look for it further in my "stuff".
Anyone interested it it should be familar with it's intended purpose and how it operates.
