Re: cl handles
Thanks for the Link! Like the handles. They look sort of like a Cox handle that has been made to be used ore comfortaby, mind you, I quite like the standard handles as I am so used to them. Interesting Website also. Thanks for posting it.

Re: cl handles
Csatman,
As cute as the WN handles are, and not that I'm dinging them, they look remarkably like the old Carl Goldberg 1/2A handles. Fortunately they don't have the little line spacing cut-outs of the CG handle. Those older handles appear to be weak in the line attachment points. I have one, but won't trust a plane to it...but if a WN handle arrived, I'd try it.
I really like my RSM/Larry Renger 1/2A exponential handles with changeable line-spacing inserts. The inserts make changing line-spacing a blink with very little re-centering required...if any at all. Or the included inserts can be sanded to change the profile/handling of the airplane. Alternatively, creating inserts with different profiles can alter the exponential rates, up/down or both.
Please let us know how these WN handles work out for you. I hope to hear positive reviews!

Re: cl handles
I like that they only have the notch for fore and ring finger. Should be more comfortable.
