Thanks god the rotax 912 does'nt need a mixture mechanic,only a choke cable! After 15 years using a push-pull friction knob on my Kitfox I made a simple throttle quadrant with bowden cables ,very comfortable and quick to use. Herbert F?rle, German Kr Hier ist ein Link zu ?P1040875.JPG? in

The important thing to remember when using flexible cables is to secure the sheath so it does not move when the inner cable is pushed / pulled. Also, oil it well on install and each year on the annual inspection. It doesn't take much motion of the outer sheath to cause the movement of he in

I use a friction lock on the throttle, a Vernier on the mixture and a button lock on the carb heat. I like the idea of being able to make small adjustments in the throttle setting with a Vernier, but, I know that I would forget to push the button when I needed to go around and advance the thrott

This really is a personal preference issue as any of the standard throttle cables/quadrants will work just fine. My KR has a vernier throttle in the center, my SuperCub has the throttle mounted into the left side trim panel with a friction adjustment under the panel. My last plane before that

I used the "lawn mower" push pull cables on my throttle using the "wire grips" (see below) and they work great. You can attach a rod end bearing or a fork on the ends. I used 4 in my throttle run, throttle handle, carb, and two at the reversing arm. My left mounted throttle assembly (see

Jeff, I also have a vernier, but for the mixture as with this one, you have to push a button to move it in and out, but then turn it for fine control. Do they make a vernier for the throttle, where you do not have to push a button on the end to move it in and out? If that is what you have how wo

I believe Tony Bingelis would say to make sure the two control knobs are different. Different color is obvious, but also different sizes, and perhaps different types of lock to prevent accidental activation of the throttle when you intended to lean the mixture, for example. I happen to have had t

The standard would be a friction lock type. The vernier takes a bit to get used to as a throttle, (must be a twisty thing),but would work. If you have never used a vernier throttle, I would not recommend using one on a first flight in a newly built experimental aircraft. No heckling from th

Don't know about anyone else, but I'm using a Cessna-style vernier/push-pull 'combo' cable for both mixture & throttle... Push the button in to push/pull, or don't push it & twist... 'course, coming from C172s, I'm used-to that setup... On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 9:28 AM, Roger Baalman via KRnet < k

Mark L, I was wondering about the cables you used on your Ellison TBI carb for throttle, mixture & carb heat? In looking at the control cables in AS&S they have many different lengths and also the choice of straight cable or 10-32 threaded ends. What worked out to be the best solution for you
