    Subject: Re: throttle quadrant
    My cables seized up and made the quadrant levers very hard to move. Try checking the archives--there should be part numbers and lenghts for throttle, prop, and mixture cables. A few extra inches makes routing a lot easier. If you don't find them I can dig them up.

    Subject: Carpet Source
    From: Michael Kraus <n223rv@wolflakeairport.net>
    Has anyone purchased just a carpet kit for the RV-10? I'm looking for a nice, drop in kit, something that will cover the tunnel (standard layout) and all floors including the baggage area. Not just floor mats. I know I can get carpet from Airtex and do it myself, but I was hoping to find something alittle more drop in. Any ideas? Thanks -Mike Kraus Sent from my iPhone

    Subject: Re: throttle quadrant
    Thanks. I already ordered extra length cables from Vans. I added 1.5 inches to each. Prop cable is fine. I did confirm the problem in the cable. After disconnecting the throttle lever it moved freely and smoothly. I then disconnected injection system mechanism from the throttle cable and it moved freely. The cables look fine but move with force and jerkily. I did notice that the bracket which Vans supplies could be angled differently and improve the connection. Vans indicated that their cables were Cablecraft but given their price, it is more likely they are ACS out of Lake Havasu AZ rather than the more expensive Tuthill Cablecraft cables for certified aircraft. The Cablecraft cables last to engine TBO and longer. Given the hassle to change the cables, it might be better to special order a set to proper length direct from Cablecraft. Next time I will. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Saylor" <dave.saylor.aircrafters@gmail.com> Sent: Saturday, March 19, 2011 7:42 AM Subject: Re: RV10-List: throttle quadrant > <dave.saylor.aircrafters@gmail.com> > > My cables seized up and made the quadrant levers very hard to move. > Try checking the archives--there should be part numbers and lenghts > for throttle, prop, and mixture cables.

    Talk with Luke Doughton luked@classic.aero at Classic Aero. They did the upholstery and carpet on my RV-8 and I couldn't be more pleased. On the carpet for the RV-8, I did spend a good deal of time laying out exactly what I wanted on CAD, printing it on a plotter, adjusting the fit, then updating the CAD, etc. But when I finished that process, I just emailed the CAD file to Luke, and he converted it into a carpet that literally fits like a glove. I was very impressed. Quality of the carpet is excellent and Luke makes sure it is fire treated as well. http://www.classic.aero Best upholstery and carpet available for RV's in my opinion.

    Subject: Re: throttle quadrant
    I will try and verify on Monday the source of Vans quadrant control cables. They are the correct color for Cablecraft low friction but the ACS website does not show their cables. Anyway the throttle and mixture lengths for the Vans cable set need to be increased 1.5-2 inches for better routing options and fit. ----- Original Message ----- From: "DLM" <dlm34077@q.com> Sent: Saturday, March 19, 2011 9:06 AM Subject: Re: RV10-List: throttle quadrant > > Thanks.

    Hey Matt, That was my first place to look as I bought my seats there years ago. But no dice. =46rom their web site: We don't offer products for the RV-10 at this time. The main reason for this is that we have decided to continue to focus on our current products. We plan to further refine and then expand the items that we make for the RV-7, RV-8, and RV-9.

    Try plane plastics. They used my plane to create the pattern and their carpet quality is decent. Sorry, don't have website but they do vacuum formed instrument panel replacements and ate located in Oklahoma. They also attend sun fun. Do not archive.

    I'm not sure what Vans is charging today, but I ordered special length cables from Vans for my quadrant setup -- all longer than what he shows in the catalog -- and each cable was $75.00, didn't matter the length. The cables were made to the exact length I requested.
