    Paul, where do you fly out of? It seems that the springs on my carburetors are not that strong. My concern was that in the heat of the moment, (a go around for example) it might be possible to overrun the throttle springs when going WOT and pinch the stranded cable and put a kink in it on the bell crank end. I may be overly concerned for nothing. Kyle -------- Kyle Dunn Eddyville, Kentucky Kitfox IV 1200 912 Rotax 1978 Cessna 172 N American Aero Phoenix II w/582 Rotax Rotorway Exec.

    It doesn't seem to me to be such a difficult job to go to solid wire control "devices".....I've got a vernier throttle, solid wire, and it works perfectly. A simple splitter could be constructed to make a solid throttle control all the way to the carbs. The splitter could be in the form of a bellcrank.

    Kyle, I live in southeast MO and fly out of Dexter,MO, but I've had a vacation home near Jonathan Creek the past several years and although it doesn't save me that much time to fly to m34 it's a lot more fun than driving. I've only had the KF for about a month and I'm not a builder or mechanic (good friend is though) so I'm not that familiar with how a vernier or solid wire setup would need to be constructed, but I'm sure Lynn is correct and I did see a "splitter" on Aircraft Spruce's website. My system seems to be working ok right now, so I think I will put that modification down a few spots on my wish list. You might want to check out the Rotax discussion though, as I did see some discussion about the throttle springs and it's possible if you were not the builder that what you have are not the original springs which may or may not be a problem.

    You might try Electromotive, Albert. They're the ones who manufactured them.
