Bent flap handle
Posted: Thu Sep 27, 2018 4:48 pm
Can someone post a picture of what their factory bent flap handle looks like against the floor in the zero flap position? Preferably in an M5.
I bought a used bent flap handle that lays flat against the floor just like the straight handle I had. The pivot point and where it's welded are slightly different so I ordered a bent handle from Maule and the mechanic that is recovering the plane says it looks exactly like the handle that's flat on the floor.
I'm wondering if it's different for the M5 with no negative flaps like the M7. The internals are for flaps 20/40. I have non inertial shoulder harnesses and the handle is unreachable with them tight.
Thanks in advance.
