I noticed on the Stunt Grunt of the Day....Don Clemens had a funny little spring loaded handle that he would "trigger" every time he flew invented?
When I was a mere child...(in Jr. High School in DesMoines Iowa...around 1953 I made up a weird little handle that I could hold in either the upright or upside down position?
In truth it worked for a while...but soon my thumb got blisters and I had to repair my little El Diablo about 4 times until I gave up and flew with a conventional handle?
Anyone else ever try somethin' like these attached flying handles?
such as just using kite straps...up line in one hand and the down line in the other...or???
a telescoping twist lock alum. handle that could be instantly lengthened and shortened by a mere simple quick twist?
(Still I think our Robin Huntski...in flight dial in up and down was the cats meeeeoooooooowweee?
As much as I loved that handle...I cut the extentions down...which seemed to go along with my muscle trained hot rock handles...(I wish that I had worked longer with Bob's handle before chopping off the extentions.)
I remember lending that handle to someone to try..but somehow it never returned.
Any new thoughts??? or brain stormin about handle design concepts?
