Subject: | Re: Throttle Cable Routing for Stromberg on A65 |
I take tons of pictures when I do the annual.
Here are some of the bowden throttle cable on our setup.
We do have an extra homemade sleeve that helps to stiffen the system.

I've always wondered if there was a better cables to use.
Carb heat side also uses a bowden cable.- I'm sure there are some picture
s of that as well.
Thanks

John;
The throttle bell crank on my Stromberg requires very, very little effort t
o swing the butterfly in the throat of the carb.- The inner wire of the B
owden should be plenty stiff to operate the butterfly.- *BUT*- that's und
er normal circumstances.- Thinking about abnormal conditions (or maybe "n
ormal" for Strombergs a lot of the time), if you have carb ice in the ventu
ri, it may pose significant resistance to movement of the butterfly in the
throat of the carb and if you tried to operate the throttle against that re
sistance, your inner wire would buckle.
The outer jacket of my Bowden cable is secured much closer to the carb than
9"; I believe it's clamped to one of the carb screws using a fabricated ta
b.- Let me look at it on Saturday and maybe get you a picture.- I think
you need to run the outer jacket longer, clamp it closer to the carb, and
only have a couple of inches of inner wire outside the outer jacket.

I am not that familiar with the mechanical tachs used by most people, but
believe they are standard rotation aircraft tachs.
I used, and I know of one other guy who used a Westach electric tach that
ran off the mag. MUCH lighter and cleaner installation, just one wire from
the gauge to the mag and worked great.

The picture attached shows the wire I used. The foil is the shield and it i
s electrically connected to the bare wire. (ground)- You only need to cut
the conductors and ground to the length you need, add the end connectors a
nd attach.

Subject: | Re: model A tach |
Here is a digital one we installed on the piet.
The digital one uses a sensor and a magnet that is glued inside the prop.
- The sensor is installed to the cowling.- It works okay.- Pro is tha
t it is cheap and light ... Con is that it is not very accurate.- Only ha
s a 60 RPM accuracy.-- I wanted something for when I am in the front se
at giving dual... Better than nothing I guess.

Hi Kevin,
I am=C2-wishing I had made my tank larger like Gary's as well. Mine will
hold about 11 gallons; so am going to add a 5 gallon nose tank.
How big was your tank that gave you 1:35? Probably about 11 gallons!
Thanks,
Jim

I may be wrong here and correct me if I am, but I believe the outer insulation
on auto wire is toxic if it burns? Not what you need to be breathing when trying
to find an emergency spot to put down.

Thanks Scotty, Michael and Gary. I guess I wasn't worried about the toxicity
with an open cockpit but since many didn't get back to me saying it was ok I
plan to use aviation wire and connectors. I will save money using Chinese h
ardware. Kidding!

Looking at the wing plans and getting ready to order wood for spars. Why couldn't
a guy just get alittle bigger piece and cut the top angle to fit the ribs so
you don't have to add the little angle filler pieces? Is there something I am
over looking? Does no one do it because of the little more added weight of wood
between the ribs? Or the cost of spruce for a bigger spar? Thanks for any
answers.

Cost of wood for taller spar. The wedges are a no brainier, extremely easy to do.
Wayyyyy easier than Berlinger the top of spar. No good way to get glue under
rib.
