I added it and removed the friction nylon completely. One does not need
the friction on the pilot side because the slight increased friction is
about right for me.

Subject: REFLECTOR: Right side Throttle
Hi,
I am considering the installation of a right hand throttle cable.
Throttle only, not mixture, and not prop. I would do this by just
buying a 2nd throttle cable from the factory (if it's long enuf) and
bolting the ends together at the engine attach point. I have created an
oversized utility tunnel and so channel space for the cable run is not
an issue for me. I have not examined the full routing from panel attach
into the tunnel.
My guess is this will double the hand force needed to move the throttle
from either side--but that's about it. I would disable the friction
device on the RH side. Does anyone have any experience with this?
...or any suggestions on things I might be overlooking?
Thanks,
Terry Miles
