Title: Brodak Adjustable Handles
Post by: Warren Allred on January 09, 2010, 08:18:19 PM

Does anyone know the size differences/dimensions between the large and the small?

The samll one is about the size of the old Hot Rock and I believe the large is about the size of the old E-Z just.

I used the Hot Rock, but it was always a little too small. The E Z Just was way too large for me.

This sounds like Goldilocks.

Me, I used the Hot Rock for racing and sport flying.  The E-Z Just was used for combat as I could get better control with it.  If I remember right there was an inch difference in the spacing.  Still have both sizes in the shop some where.

There's no picture of the handle, but from the description, it sounds like Bradley Walker's "Rock Crusher". He could probably provide dimensions of the grip area.

We had a few users of these in the club, but I noticed that they're not using them anymore. These handles are on the heavy side...not a big deal if you're flying a big model that pulls hard, but not so good when your model is small and/or line tension is light. Every little bit helps...or hurts.  D>K Steve

The picture is now up and it *looks* like Brad's handle.  Doesn't have *Rock Crusher* on it that I can see. ???

Wouldn't a call or email to Brodak get you the exact information you are looking for quickly?

  The  E-Z-just was  5" spacing between the lines and the E-Z-Just Hot Rock was 4" between lines.  The hand hold spacing for the Brodak handle being discussed is approximately  1/4 inch more than the Hot rock.
