jaylw314 Posted April 11, 2018 Report Posted April 11, 2018 Reading this thread, one would imagine most Mooney pilots are contortionists I have a strap handle on the forward edge of the doorframe that I use heavily. From sitting on the right seat, I just grab it and stand up? When I bought the plane, I pulled on the handle and it came off in my hand. Turns out when the previous owner had done the reupholstering, they had simply screwed the attach points through the nylon strap. I redid the nylon strap with brass grommets and heated the ends to keep it from fraying, and wrapped it with the leather covering. Now it will support all my upper body weight without a problem...
