No the outside handle is not removeable
The set screw in the bushing just stops the handle from pulling through when you close and latch the door.

SkySteve, can you post some pics of that door latch system you used or send to me personally? I want to do something different from the original V5 latch.
Thanks

Maverick,
Mine are, at the very best, low tech. Here are some photos:
I drilled a hole here:


Then using a simple water valve shut off handle, I cut off the small tab and bolted it thru the shaped door to the inside of the door frame. More of a farm approach than an engineer approach. I did find a valve with a blue vinyl handle so it matches my plane (the artist touch, I guess).
