Every RV-10 that I have seen has the front seat tee handle next to the
door. It seams that it would be much easier to access and operate if it
was inboard near the tunnel. What am I missing?

Aero sport make a extension that places the seat lever handle in the front. Makes it easy to get to. I have one in my 10. There is another company that makes one very similar can’t think of their name. Thanks Neil

Larry,
I feel the same way and haven't seen any issues with -10s set up like that.

The Aerosport handles work well. Easy to reach in front of the seat.
You will have difficulty if you reverse the seats to put the handle next
to the tunnel, because the lever to tilt the seat back is also on the
outside and nearly impossible to get to if it were next to the tunnel.

I know a guy that has built several -10's and he always swaps the seats and puts the T handles next to the tunnel. If you do not have a center console, it works just fine and they're easier to get to. I started out (2007) with the very early levers similar to the Aerosport levers. They worked great, but were made out of lighter metal than needed and eventually broke. I was going to replace them with similar ones from IflyRV10.com, but the mounting holes were in a different location and I did not want to drill more holes in the seat. They also offered a T-Handle extension that simply raises the T-Handle about 2 or 3 inches higher, so I opted for that. Works great. If I was building today, I'd definitely install the Aerosport levers.
Bottom line, no problems and easier access with the T-Handle next to the tunnel, as long as you don't have a center console mounted on the tunnel.
The issue with the seat recline lever is that I really like it next to the door so I can push the seat back forward from outside the airplane when loading passengers or cargo in the back seat. I can't imagine it would be any harder to get to while seated if it was on the tunnel side, again, as long as you don't have a center console.

I grab the center metal support with my inboard hand and work the t-handle with the outboard hand. Moving the T-Handle to the inside does not allow the use of the support to pull forward.

That’s how I do it too, Jim. The hand “grab” opening on each side of the glare shield worked fine on the airplanes I flew with the T-handles moved inboard.
