Throttle and Mixture cables

Posted on by Neal

Tonight I finally torqued the various nuts, and installed the cotter pins, on both the throttle and mixture cables. I ended up with slightly more cushion gap than ideal, but I think that’s ok. The mid-point of the cable travel is nicely aligned with the midpoint of the arm travel on the fuel servo.

Mixture cable where it attaches to the mixture arm. This is at the midpoint of the arm’s travel
The midpoint of the throttle arm’s travel. The throttle control in the cockpit is exactly half way between open and closed in this position.
