bumber, Do you still have any of these handles? At what price? Do you have any idea if it will work on a Discus?
You can reply by private email to jdukecrna at gmail.com if you like.
Thanks,

Bumper -

I'm J. Duke's partner and the one who seemingly can never get the gear up on our Discus CS. Do you know if it will fit the Discus CS, and if it does as John asked do you still have one for sale?

Please let John or me ) know.

Thank you.

Responded privately.

Initial batch of 8 handles sold. Taking names for future batch, no deposit, no commitment. (No time either! - but being guilt driven, will find time when enough people ask.)

Default Gear handle design

I've started making another (maybe the last, due to time constraints and other commitments) small batch of gear handles. Not cheap, but I believe you will be pleased with the quality and more importantly, how they perform.

$200 shipped to US - overseas at cost. Satisfaction guaranteed or your money refunded, with some grumbling. :c)

Note this gear handle will fit other Schleicher models, and can be custom made for some other makes too, contact me for details.

Default Gear handle design

We just finished installing the Bumper Gear Handle in my ASW 22 BLeE. Although I haven't exercised it in flight, I can attest to the fit and finish---outstanding! My ship is now completely Bumperized: gear handle, yaw string, and quiet vent. All the designs are innovative, and the quality is second to none.

I wish Bumper would design an entire ship...
