| Subject: | Re: throttle setup |
Todd,
Your plan to kill the engine and deadstick it in is a good one - provided the cable
did not come loose when you were at idle or a reduced power setting. Then
your likelihood of getting to anywhere but what is directly below you is greatly
diminished if you can't reach the throttle cable. I did not say that my plan
was optimal, but it does give you a chance to do what you said, adjust the
cable to full forward throttle, fly to a field, cutoff the engine and deadstick
it in.
But as you said, it is experimental aviation, and you can build your airplane any
way that you see fit. I am just encouraging you from a risk management standpoint
to rethink where you will connect your throttle cable.
