Installing a hand hold and a step?

I've had handles on my Coupes for years -- to aid stepping uo in wing, I got a "folding stool" black plastic, drilled some holes to pass clothesline "rope" through it, long trail to pass a look through handle to secure to plane -- PUT ON REMOVE BEFOE FLIGHT streamers to remind you when you get onto wing to pull up stool, fold, put in the baggage -- when in hangar or on ramp, I just leave it folded flat on the wing (attached to handle) -- works great!

Super User:
Respectfully suggest you read my write-up up again about the "stirrup". I just wasn't detailed enough with my description/write up, I guess.

The stirrup fabrication is not permanently attached to the aircraft - just a portable replacement for the stool and rope.

You are correct, of course, if this were an alteration to the aircraft.

You are referring to Vernon Gregory of Sky Port Services? Do they make a kit for hand holds? If so, I didn't know. I have gotten some parts from them in the past and have been quite pleased with that company.

Thanks Ken, excellent timely report - nothing like a success report to help others decision making. Try handles first and add "stirrup" later if felt warranted.
