Keith,

I installed dual throttle quadrants in my Elite LWFG.  I got them from
Beechhurst Industries ( http://www.beechhurst.com/Quads_Recip.shtml

They are extremely well made.  I slaved the two throttles so they operate
together.  You can see my installation at Sony ImageStation
http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4291366131
(you have to join – it’s free).

I just started flying (got 16 hours on my plane) and love it.

Regards,

Kevin Steiner
Scottsdale, AZ

Subject: REFLECTOR:Quadrants vs. push-pull controls

I'm getting things lined up to install my IO-540, and I'm trying to decide
whether to go with the standard push-pull controls or the "cooler" quadrant
option.

I recognize that the push-pull controls have the nice vernier fine
adjustment and anti-creep.  On the other hand it's not clear how to rig up
dual engine controls with the push-pull scheme.

I recall Rob Johnson's post on his modified ACS homebuilder quadrant.  Do
any of you have a source for practical quadrants that lend themselves to
dual installation?

Should I just forget the dual controls?
