Here is a simple fix to save pinching your thumb on the flap lever.
Thanks Scott, Dave and Tim.
I loved everything about the RV-12 . . . except the flap handle mechanism. Now, thanks to you, I see that there are three ways to eliminate the source of my disappointment -- one that costs only 21 cents, a record low price for anything having to do with airplanes!

I've seen this issue brought up before, but it has never been a problem in my 12. I put a control stick grip on the flap handle that has a flange at the end. I guess it keeps my paws from getting into the gap on the button. I can send a pic if anyone wants one. I haven't had much luck posting pics.
