I missed this thread, so sorry if I'm off the mark here. For a flap handle,
check out your local bicycle store. They have many grips that might do the trick for you...perhaps even more ergonomic that what you now have. "meile" wrote in message . dk... Hi I tried to mail the adress to you -but I cant mail it to you. Please mail me your adress and I will send the adress to you. Best regards Peter |

I wish I knew! My (our) LS6 flaphandle is pretty shabby too.
Let us know what you find out please. We recently replaced our stick grip ( different a/c, a Libelle ) with close to OEM parts... a xc ski pole grip. That would probably work with the spoiler grip, but not the flaps. Sarah robin wrote: The rubber pistol grip on the flap handle in my LS6 is pretty badly deteriorated. The spoiler handle grip is also going down hill. DG replied to an email that they can't help me with replacements. The next step could be fabrication, but I thought I'd try the group first. Is there a source for these handgrips? I noticed pictures of the JS1 Revelation cockpit showed grips that look similar. I have seen wooden replacement grips and I could carve some. But I thought I'd try and mold some. If you have any tips or techniques let me know. I don't know what rubber product to use, but we've got a local rubber products vendor with a large inventory. Thanks Robin - RF |

I refinished my grip. The grip was badly deteriorated and falling
apart. It required glue, then I slipped heat shrink tubing over to make it solid again. I refinished it with rubber spray. It looked new when finished. Hotel Alpha |

Hotel Alpha is a Std Cirrus in South Africa - presume your HA is a LS6?
