Installed this (and like it a lot) on my experimental that had a regular toggle switch. Unfortunately, my switch handle spins ( I couldnt use the optional horizontal anti-rotation plate - I needed a vertical one). In general, switch manufacturers dont specify whether the handle spins, and I tried a few alternatives to no avail. After a long search, I found joy with a Honeywell 1TL1-7 switch that has a non-rotating handle. Thats a SPDT switch with momentary contacts and screw terminals.

Impressive,Very high quality, Looks factory and really helped with night flying , I can just feel it to find flap control.

Flap Handle - Grey

Bought this for my RV7A, as others have said this is not plastic and is a single piece ( not two sides screwed together) of powder coated metal. Should last forever Slid over existing toggle switch perfectly. When installing, tighten one side until it touches toggle, then the other, then fully tighten both sides to ensure its secure and even. Does not slip or turn at all. Makes touch and goes much safer as flaps are much easier to find and use without having to look. Best $40 Ive spent in a while.

Perfect

Flap Handle - Grey

Well made, easy to install, works perfectly as advertised. Verify that you have the correct size hex key or Allen key to install to avoid a second trip to the airport... -)

Flap Handle - Grey

Great as usual

Slightly over priced but functions perfectly. I even talked my neighbor into getting one for his plane too. All I had before was the normal toggle switch which is very slippery and I can only imagine will be hard to operate in anything other than perfect flying weather. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that has a toggle switch for their flaps.

Well made, should work well in my RV 4

Excellent product I highly recommend to all builders/ owners. Genuinely great design, machining, and finish.

Nice product, well made and fit perfectly

Love this product. Very well made and high quality. It doesnt come with the switch, but fits a standard size toggle. There are many switches to choose from.... IE momentary versus not, so this product couldnt come with a switch. However, it sure makes a nice addition to the panel.

I like it. The flap handle was simple to install over the existing switch and makes flap operation a no look procedure on touch and go landings and go arounds.

This is a very nice handle though it does not work with toggle switches with a toggle that spins. You would need the anti-rotation plate as well. I bought the handle alone and found our the switch I intended to use rotated. So I called AS and they were able to get me the anti-rotation plate by itself. This handle will work with switches where the toggle is pinned like the more expensive Honeywell switches - that is if you dohnt want the plate.

Beautifully machined piece. The previous review is not correct. The piece is machined out of aluminum and then powdercoated. It is most definitely not plastic!!!

INSTALLATION Installation is quick and straightforward. To ensure proper alignment and operation: 1) Before installation... Make sure the toggle switch is tight on the panel, and that the toggle motion is straight up and down. 2) When installing... Start with both set screws flush with the surrounding handle surface. Alternate from side to side, tightening each screw the same number of turns until both are tight. OPERATION These flap handles are a significant improvement over a toggle switch alone or standard vinyl covers. Much more comfortable. Make fine adjustments easier.

When I ordered it there was no indication that the handle was grey. It looks white so I had to paint it myself. Since 1974, all flap handles I saw were white.

Flap Handle - Grey

The fit and finish of the parts received were as shown. Slightly disappointed that this does not include the actual switch for the price. Not really clear the switch is not included nor recommended. Plus reading now that some hole drilling is required, was not clear either from the picture/description of the item for sale.

Nice piece of work. Makes a big difference on the flap switch of an LSA. You just have to find a small wrench to fit the set screws! 5 stars if the mini wrench was included!

Works and looks as advertised. Could have given 5 stars if it wasnt for the price. Rather expensive for a piece of plastic with 2 set screws. Anyway, it looks good.

I thought I was ordering a flap handle that actually works not just a handle and a plate. I need the actual mechanism that this will actually work with
