I fly RV-10 flush door handle

Hi Guys

Anyone tried the flush door handle from iflyrv10? How does it compare with aerosport flush door handle?

I have installed and used both.

The IFLYRV10 flush handle (http://capsteve.wix.com/iflyrv10#!__billet-flush-door-handle) was one of the early (~2006) RV-10 add-ons to have a nicer looking and flush exterior handle. It does not defeat the OEM latching mechanism but is limited to the stock ~110 degree handle rotation. While it is compatible with the 110 degree implementation of the PlaneAround center latch, it is simply not possible to use the 180 degree version for additional pin extension. It isn't difficult to craft a lock installation for compatibility with these handles but that exercise is left to the end user. Installation isn't difficult but because of the way the handle mechanism ties into the stock mechanism, it's critical that you work to get all the friction out of the system. The handle won't work well if you don't.

The current Aerosport low profile handle (http://www.aerosportproducts.com/low-profile_handles.htm) is a VERY nice piece both for its engineering and looks. It doesn't have any rotation limitations, maintains the original handle latching mechanism and has provisions for a lock built in. It is also fully compatible with the PlaneAround center latch mechanism in either implementation (180 or 110 degree).

The IFLYRV10 handle system works as intended but the AeroSport low profile handle is much nicer and not as finicky about the install.

No relationship with either company, just my experiences and opinions for whatever that's worth.
