I'm officially through venting, movin on, but anybody ordering from this guy and believing they're going to get something back in return is dreamin. OK, now I'm done.

I wish I had read this thread two months ago! I ordered the door locks from iflyrv10, my credit card was immediately charged, and I waited a month...nothing arrived. I called all of his phone numbers and left messages; then I e-mailed his site asking what happened. Eventually he e-mailed an apology and a shipping notice (which was never activated). I've waited another month, have sent him e-mails and called like before. I still have not received any reply nor the parts.

If I were you folks, I'd stay away from iflyrv10...he takes our money then hides. That's the definition of "robbery", not "customer service."

Yes, I tried also to get a hold of that guy with no luck. Called several times, left a couple messages a month ago... I just had some questions because.... God forbid, I wanted to order something from him mad spend money.... ;(
Turns out Sean from Planearound answered my question. AND it turns out that those pretty flush handles just don't work well with Sean's third latch... And IMO the safety and functionality of that latch surpasses the flush handles. As Sean pointed out, you need a smooth moving handle that'll travel 180 for it to work well.
So I decided to design and machine some new handles for the exterior of the doors on the 10. Slick looking and simple drop ins onto the stock hardware. Once I have them in my hand I'll take some pictures and see if there's any takers out there to make some more......

That guy shouldn't have a website if he can't follow through.....

I'm reopening an old thread to post my experience with Steve at IFlyRV10.com. I ordered a few small parts from Steve's online store and didn't get any response for about 10 days. After reading this string of posts I jumped to conclusions and thought he had shut down the business and left his website up. I opened a dispute with Paypal to try to get my money refunded then received an immediate response from Steve with a very good explanation. I feel like an *** for going that route. He lives in the Buffalo area and is buried under many feet of snow after the snowvember record storms they had. He is very much in business and I'm happy to report that my parts are on the way.

I received my parts today. The brackets look great and they should save me a few hours of construction time.

I installed the flush handle and the third latch on my 10.

I liked how the flush handle looked, wanted to have a key lock and I felt like I wanted the safety of the third latch.

It took a little work but I am pleased the way it turned out and the smoothness of its operation.

I haven't heard of others having problems. I only have 60 hours on my plane however.
