Listers,
I am considering installing the full three lever deluxe quadrant for the
rear seat of my RV8 - any suggestions? Gus says it would interfere with the
rear pilot's left leg?? The link would be a straight rod for the throttle
lever, push/pull type cables for the other two.
Comments anyone?
Thanks,
Michele

I would like to install a throttle in the rear cockpit. I understand that
Vans has a drawing and looked at Spruce's throttle offers.
Any experience with this installation?

A three control quadrant in the aft seat will look good but is it really
practical? The front seat will always have a pilot in it. The aft seat
pilot will not have a good view of any mixture instrumentation, will not be
able to start the engine, and will have no need to shut down the engine.
The prop control is a little more useful but you have a voice activated one
built in. My experience has been that flying from the rear seat is limited
to demonstrations for new/prospective pilots and friends. No serious flying
is done back there. On the other hand whatever you like best is always the
best idea.

We have just installed the throttle lever in the back. I am going to
shorten it and no bend, this has two benefits (#1) As others have said it
will then NOT interfere with the rear passengers left leg and better yet
(#2) you can easily place a secure cover over it so when you take your
grandkids or kids for a ride they do not have access to it. Gary Bennett &

I know, I know, I tend to over do things. My initial intention was to grant
the rear seat pilot full flying capabilities in case, I, the front pilot,
passed out or something similar. In a side by side airplane, there is an
built in safety feature if the other person has piloting skill. In the 8,
all the rear pilot has is a stick. But then one can add things such as the
throttle, or the throttle and prop, rear pedals, a flap switch, a trim
switch (both disconnectable from the pilot's seat). Then there could be
basic instrumentation such as air speed, altitude, a backup radio, a backup
GPS...
Anyone gone that route?
Thanks,
Michele - RV8 Fuselage.

ALL OF THE ABOVE AND WE LOVE IT
My RV8 has a rear seat throttle, prop control, and mixture as well as trims,
flap and full GPS. I'm 6 ft tall and weight 204 and I have no problem flying
from the back. I learned to land from the back which made front seat
landings a breeze since the rear rudders are less responsive than the front.
My wife is learning to (pinch hit )from the back in case she may have to fly
someday if I should become ill or worse. There are good things about keeping
it light and all but my BABY needs all the good stuff I can put in. If
weight becomes a problem I should lose 20 pounds.
