Tom,
Airbrake handles are no problem, as blue bicycle grip s will do the job.
Available from any bicycle retailer. Trim knobs? A little more difficult,
unless you can describe the shape of the original.
Typically, these control knobs have a 6 mm internal thread which is a metal
insert into the plastic grip Any handy person with access to a lathe could
produce such an insert, which would then be epoxied into a suitable knob.
such as a green plastic ball. I think that most commercial glider facilities
would have expertise to the skills require for the fabrication of a trim
knob. I hope this helps you.
What I have described applieS to a glass fibre gliderS. IF YOU NEED HANDLES
FOR OLDER STEEL TUBE FUSELAGES, THEN PLEASE GET BACK TO ME OFF LINE.
regards
Bob Ward

Afternoon all
Could anybody advise a good place to purchase things like airbrake handles
and trim knobs?
Thanks
