My clamp was binding causing the wire to bend back and forth. The wire broke right at the cable clamp. Throttle control was a A-790 (acs 05-08036). Is this the best cable for this application? Has any installed a spring to make the throttle to pull the throttle open in the event of a cable break? Would rather look for a suitable landing site under full power. :?

My methods are fairly common in the scratch build composite homebuilt world. Just use common stuff, and correct epoxy & glass. So Succesful I am restoring a 40 year old car and use the same methods for the interior trim. Difference is I cover with fabric store stretchy, fuzzy felt for the covering. Got the felt tip from the professional hot rod interior guy. BTW, the felt is so light it should work on the plane.
