What do you mean 'update'?

My M4's flap handle lays on the floor and is quite a reach. Especially tricky when I try to dump flaps on landing and my release... uh... doesn't.
Anyone know if I can install a newer, angled-up flap handle?

You have to read between the lines a little:

On the flap handles...I know some folks who have modified their own handles.

The rachet is a pretty easy upgrade and works great.

I think there is a "bent" flap handle available, but you have to be careful w/ the 40 degree rachet that the handle will clear the seat.
