Folding handle for long tail One drawback to a folding handle is it needs to be able to be pinned into a locked position and strong enough to make the motor dig as well as get it out of the mud when it gets stuck. I've had my prop and cav plate stuck so bad in the mud that even with all my weight on the handle it wouldn't break free. Folding handle may not be able to handle the abuse

Re: Folding handle for long tail Folding handle would definitely be a weak point. I'd advise against it.

Re: Folding handle for long tail i seen a guy that had a homemade lt with a threaded solid aluminum handle that he would unscrew and the throttle had a quick release camp on it.
