Aerosport Low Profile handles installed (video)
 
I got my new low profile handles installed over the weekend, and I made up a video of the process to better show how everything works.

These things are really nice!

Kudos to Justin Twilbeck for a well thought out design, and to Aerosport for a well built and complete product.

It's a pretty long video (35 minutes) so if you just want to see the final product, jump to 33:50

Great video! The near-flush handles look awesome...
Yeah, I think I've just added another item to my shopping list. :D

Ed,
Awesome video! Very good job. It was a joy watching my handles come together and I feel like you covered everything I would have said if I were standing over your shoulder. Awesome job!

Fly-in?
 
Hey Ed, You have my vote to host the fly-in to install these like Jesse did on the nose gear strut

Sounds good to me! If you buy the pizza and beer, I'll sit around and tell you what to do!

Nice video
 
Well done Ed!


I wish I had a good video like this for the PlaneAround latch.

Waiting for my handle to install it.

You do nice work.

Thanks Sean!

Between the PlaneAround 180 degree 3rd latch with the pin blocks, the angled pins, the Aerosport Low Profile Handle and inner handle cover, I finally feel like the RV10 doors look and operate wonderfully!

You and Geoff should work out some sort of "Ultimate RV10 Door Package"!

Second that!
 
I will second the ultimate package idea!

It looks Great...
 
When I first saw those door handles, I was impressed.. and hoping.. I mean really HOPING... that all I had to do was bolt them on...sigh....

My doors are done and installed on the fuselage... I remember spending many hours hooking up those pins and safety wiring them... Even assembling the handle with those "easy to install" split pins was a big pain. I am not as smooth and as quick as it shows on this video...now I gotta take em apart and do it all over again... Oh Well...

Still, A great video and I am glad I saw it...
