Not to bring up an subject that was throughly discussed a while back, 

but....



Have you received the door handles yet?  Have you installed them?



Any feed back would be appreciated because they are a big buck investment.

No, I haven't received the handles yet. They are  bringing them to me at Sun-N-Fun. I think the delay has been getting  the locks ready. 

 I've talked to them on the phone a couple of times  and they seem like pretty nice people.I'm  assuming that they will have their tow bar

 there also, so I'll let the list know about it. You  can see both of these on there web site at www.cossaviation.com I'm not sure if I  remember

 what they told me for sure but I thought they said  the bar was about $100.

  

 I'll let you know when I get back from  Sun-N-Fun what I've found out.

Coss aviation may also be the company to produce the firewall forward kit, 

cowl and mount should the Innodn turbine ever get off the ground. Might be a 

topic to discuss at Sun'n Fun if you see them. Robin, I believe is the 

owner.



For what it is worth.

Those door handles look nice....how much are they?  Has anybody put them on the RV 10 yet?

I've been working on my own door handle design.  They are designed to

easily integrate with the Van's stock assembly.  The lock simply keeps

one of the geared racks from opening when the lock is closed. We are

machining them this week. It consists of a new handle and lock assembly

as well as a larger button that fits over the current tube. I is just

three screws from the inside of the door to keep the front lock assembly

attached and then one screw for the handle just like Van's stock

assembly.

Very nice.

I wonder if someone will put these into production? (how about it Evan 

Johnson?)



It should not be difficult to beat the Cross Aviation door handles that 

are $350 each. (Yes each $700 for 2 door handles).

Jesse, I don't have a price yet.  I need to get the first one built and

tested.  Should be soon though.

I'm producing door handles too!, completely interchangeable with the

Van's parts, it's also hiding the two screws in the door, I'm about to

machine the parts this week, decided to visit Sun & fun next week and

bring a sample with me, maybe we can try one at Tim's plane, if I can

meet Tim that is.

It took a very long time to get the right locking cylinders to mount in

the handles, I'm still waiting on a few sets, I only have one sample at

the moment.

I would be happy to help if I can.....looks like a good design. It sounds

like Scott has it under control to me though. My machine shop is very good,

but they don't like to do just a few parts. I would think they would want to

make 100 or so at a minimum. You will probably find that is the case almost

anywhere though. Those Cross door handles are pretty cool, but that does

seem expensive to me....I wonder why?

Cheers...
