Hi Brad,

What worked out pretty well for me on the handle is this. First I covered
the handle with release tape. Then I built up a big glob of micro around the
handle area on the side of the fus. Before the micro cured, I pushed the
handle into it to create a handle shaped depression. After cure and a bunch
of sanding I ended up with a handle that fits into a perfectly shaped
depression. Now that the airplane is painted, the handle is flush with the
fus side and I didn't have to worry about compromising the structure. Don't
look too bad either, almost like I knew what I was doin'.
