We are just starting to troubleshoot a stiff choke actuator - thinking the panel might need to be removed. Anyone have any pointers to the root cause of binding with this control, and a likely fix? Oh, and our parking brake control is also rather stiff ....:-( cheers, Glenn Rainey / Martin Burns G-OJHL Classic monowheel 912 Cumbernauld ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 04:57:47 AM PST US From: William Daniell Subject: Europa-List: Tie bar off center Dear all Having followed instructions for the drilling of the wing tie bar (which join the attachment points) I found on taking off the plates that on hole is 1/32 off center and the other is about 1/16 off center. Apart from being really pissed at myself for committing such a basic error ...what is the general opinion? How much does this matter?

Sean Best thing is some conveyor belting which has some plys of fabric in it. Then line it with carpet.

I actually prefer it that way as I do not have to hold it open when starting, gives me a free hand for the brakes.

The only problem I see is that the diameter(0.55in) is too large to go through the 914 plug hole. Other than that it is a really good piece of kit.

You will get use to anything in a while and this is no exception. I can run my brakes and run the throttle all with the right hand. I can't imagine doing it any other way and I grew up like most in a 152 then Cherokee. Put in the brakes. It's a non issue. Jeff R. A258 - N128LJ / Gold Rush 191 hours and climbing slowly.

As per Jeff's comments. It becomes second nature to use finger brakes. Ensure levers are long enough and keep speed to a good walking pace to taxi. Use Rudder too. They become quite accurate to use and control and I found them easy to use doing a short field landing. Juggling with throttle also seems to work out after a few goes.
