n You Identify the Manufacture?

[t michael jennings]

Gentlemen,

The attached are photos of a Control Handle I purchased some time ago.  I cannot remember who built the Control Handle.  Must be old age or something.

Please give my memory assistance in identifying this well constructed handle.

Thanks,

De Hill would know for sure, but I'll say it looks like a handle once sold by Fox.

  Yep ---- definitely a Fox handle.
  They were used mostly in Rat Race events.

Show me a handle that is completely safe around power lines.  DOC Holliday

A handle with no line attachments?

The handle had the *forward tilt* built in (don't let Ted see it! ) I never used one, but I did see some.

Mr. Little,

Are you sure the photo of the Handle is upside down?

When I hold the Handle in this position, the face of the Handle is almost vertical.

When I hold the Handle in the Upside down position, the face is angle to the rear.

I paint the color WHITE for the UP line and RED for the DOWN line.

I am not sure which way to hold the Handle now?

Interested in your REPLY.

Michael,





Bill Little is correct; The Fox handle is pictured upside down. I own several of the Fox handles and have flown with them.

Duke Fox told me that the wood portion of the handle came from south america.

IMHO...I have owned and flown with a FOX handle for several years. Not "highly adjustable," has a comfortable feel, would not recommend it for competitive PA and like Marvin stated...I've used one as a "rat handle."
