It sounds like I need to hang and rig the rudder before I try to make adjustments.
Thanks,
Dale

Hi Paul.
I am 6' 4" with and wear pants with 37" inseams. (And then my pants sometimes
look like 'high water pants'!) I just know that I will need the rudder pedals
in the full forward position.
But from other comments, it sounds like I need to hang and rig the rudder before
I get carried away with making changes.
Thanks,
Dale

Good luck.

Hello=2C
The Van's throttle and mixture cables do not have enough throw for my preci
sion carburetor (Part of Aerosport package). The only option I have left is
to drill another hole in the throttle and mixture arms at the carburetor t
o increase the effectiveness of the throw I do have.
I understand some metal parts are cast and drilling is a no-no. Has anyone
been down this road? Your solution?
Thanks=2C

Vince, I had the same problem with the mixture cable. Even got a new
cable from Van's. I think I remember that it had about an 1/8" greater
travel but not much. Same problem with it after a major pain to replace
it. Throttle cable was okay for my throttle linkage on the the MA4-5
that I have.
I ended up adjusting the mixture cable linkage so that it would go to
full idle cutoff. Turns out that my MA4-5 (10-3878) is so rich that it
was not a problem at full rich position. My flow meter indicates it is
putting almost 18 gph through it at (my) full rich/full power. I talked
with Precision and they said no shorter mixture arm available.
I suppose you could special order a cable with more travel and then
possibly drill another hole in your throttle quadrant arm to give you
more travel if it is needed, but it wasn't necessary for me.
No help with your problem but one data point.

Don't drill.
Just order a new custom cable from Van's. They can have those green cables made
in any length you want. If you haven't scratched or marred the original one,
I bet Van's will take it back.
Lead time on custom cables is short, like maybe a week or so.

Vince,
I too had this problem. I drilled new holes just above the existing
holes on the mixture and throttle levers at the quadrant. This gave me
the throw I needed.
