That monoline handle looks home made but uses the standard twist unit. If Stanzel offered $1,000, I am sure it stayed in his pocket, and he sold enough units to pay it off. I could barely fly straight and level on a windy day, using full up and down for the whole flight. Oh, since I should stay on topic, my first plane was a Ranger 30 set up as control line with a Babe Bee. It was another full up, full down on a windy day airplane. I think it was 1969 or maybe 1970. I must have been 11. Next was a Little Toot. It didn't last long. Second flight I tried an unsuccessful loop and it was toothpicks. just sorting through some pics with my monoline units and handle. The handle twist unit looks the same. I don't think it would be much good for anything bigger than a .15.
