REFLECTOR: Right side Throttle

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.

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
