Subject: | Re: throttle setup |
Todd,
I know that you wrote this a while back, but since nobody has answered your question,
I thought that I would chime in.
If (God forbid) your throttle cable came loose from the throttle handle in the
rear, what would you be able to do to control the throttle? Not easily, but I
think that you stand a chance of being able to move the throttle cable enough
while loose to make an emergency landing.
If it disconnects from the throttle in the front seat, what you can you do about
it from the rear? Not a blessed thing.
At least that is my reasoning for attaching the cable directly to the rear throttle.
YMMV.

Well now Terry, that makes a heck of a lot of sense! It also makes it possible
to disconnect (or remove) the throttle from the front cockpit along with the
stick, if they are constructed to be removed, without disturbing the pilot's operation
of the throttle. This is sometimes useful when you are giving rides
and don't want anyone working the controls who shouldn't be, and also removes
some obstacles that passengers sometimes have to work around while climbing in
and out.
