Handle testing.
I brought a couple handles to the field this morning. The first was a wooden one made by someone in LA and I won it in the raffle. I had thin gloves on and the grip portion wasn't wide enough. I put on a wooden copy of the EZ-Just and used that for the rest of the flights. I can catch deviations a lot sooner with the short overhang of the old design handle. The wind doesn't bother the plane half as much as with my handles and a lot of overhang. I shortened the overhang on the wood EZ-Just and widened the grip area on the other. Next time out I'll give them a workout. The plane feels different with the shorter handles too. I can get better bottoms and have more precise control. Too fast flights don't pose much of a problem either.
