Re: Throttle cable snapped
The air straightener is from a computer supplier, Tony Spicer idea. http://www.saxonpc.com/120mm-airflow-honeycomb-without-hous120.html I once spend a lot of time building a device to make the air flow as turbulent as possible. The idea was to get better fuel atomization in the intake pipes. You're...

Re: Slowly getting started!
If you have the money now, I'd suggest picking up a C150 or an old C172/175 and do your training in it. It'll save you a lot in the long run. When you sell it, you shouldn't lose much. Then after you get your PPL, put another 100 hours on it to make sure this is the hobby for you. All the while, you...

Re: Throttle cable snapped
John, I like your throttle set up. That could also still work with a throttle quadrant as well but the throttle lever would have to be below the axis point on the throttle, like on the Van's throttle quadrants.

Re: Throttle cable snapped
That looks moderately awesome. Do you have any drawings, more pics, or an Anson Engineering part number? The arm was rescued from my Rotec but could easily be fabricated from a .25 rod. I drilled and tapped the slider to accept it. A ⅛ angle aluminum is cut to hold the cable slot and bolted to the ...

Re: Throttle cable snapped
Here's my modified Aerocarb using a reversing arm and push/pull cable. Much smoother than the wire/boden cable setup. The aluminum thing on the intake is my air straightener.

Re: Spacing for throttle, mixture, trim
Another thing Bryan, I've flown with the DialATrim and you may want to make sure you can turn the knob without your knuckles hitting anything. You will be giving it a few full turns while adjusting trim and its not just finger tight. It takes a bit of torque.

Re: Cowling 'blisters'?
Really early cowls had blisters/cheeks for the valve covers.

Re: Spacing for throttle, mixture, trim
Make sure your cables clear the bottom of the tank. I mounted my mixture dead center and it was a challenge to snake it around the cutoff valve.
