Looking for a reasonably priced mixture control cable for a Sonex Legacy with an Aerovee 2.1 turbo engine. Suggestions appreciated!

I put the 60" version of this in mine with an NA Revmaster, you'll have to measure the proper routing and overall length for yours. My understanding is that it would work fine with the AeroInjector.

IIRC it was a 3/4" hole on the panel, I just used a step drill bit.

I used the same one as Matt. I measured and selected a custom length. I also made a reversing mechanism that lets me use all of the mixture cable travel. I think I started documenting it on this page:

Here is my mixture control in action:


Now that I'm running the engine and taxiing, I can report that all this stuff actually works.
