I have had two in my box every time we went flying, for the past ?? years.
All you had to do was ask!

You liked solid lines? Or TED Handles? I guess solid lines work in some climates, but they don't work too good here, most of the time. Maybe, in late July, on a Wednesday...afternoon. But you got the handle part nailed! Steve

Steve,
Our "Humidity" problem is similar to yours.
ie  sticky lines!

Actually, your humidity problem is a lot worse than ours. But if solid lines only work part of the time, you can't really use them. Very few use them on the West Coast. Howard likes his Stay-straits or whatever they are called. Most just use 7-strand cable...and Ted Handles or CF clones.  Steve

 How about a photo of the handle?

I have yet to try a hard point handle. I've been having both hand comfort and springy wire issues with my handles ever since I started flying stunt planes. Recently I tried a non-biased Tom Morris handle with width adjustments and it was like a little touch of magic for my pattern flying. The wires on it are pretty supple and don't have the springiness that used to cause me to botch my shapes. I'm just now advancing to the point where I want a handle for each plane, and I think I'll try a hard point for one of them.

The Fancher Handles will spoil yah.  Get them from Carl Shoupe.
