Cruisair door handle

[leadsledfan]

After flying 3000 miles to california, while doing some pattern work, the door handle of my cruisair flew off mid-air. It seems the small screw that held it onto the square shaft sheared off.
Any suggestions of where to find a new outer door handle or new door handle assembly?

Grant, do you have anything left after the fire?

Someone's backyard pool?

Well if I had the time I would go scour the departure area at sacramento mcclellan..

Adam, if you are still in the Sacramento area you might want to check with Kenny Faeth at Faeth Salvage. He might have a door handle for you. --Rob

Will do. Thanks!

No luck at faeth salvage.
maybe a hardware store door handle pinned to the shaft?

The drawing for that is available.
Glad to hear the trip went well and was fun.
I no longer have LED position light envy. WOW, are they an improvement!

Scott,
Glad to hear you are joining the believers on the LED lights.
I believe I have found a door handle off of a parts bird.
What an odd problem though, the small screw that holds it on just sheared off.

Is this the same door handle?

Unfortunately no,
the handle I had on my bird was one solid block that looks like half of a tear drop. I found the handle that you linked to, and believe it will work and has a key!
