My face is red. I set up the auto responder yesterday evening when I was tired. I failed to consider that mailing lists would not only get the autoresponder, they would echo the reply, which would trigger the autoresponder again. The mailing list did not need to be on the autoresponder in the first place. When I checked my computer this morning, my box was full of the replies it triggered, as I'm sure was everyone else's. My apologies to everyone I inconvenienced with this. The auto responder has been removed; should I need it again, I will insure it does not include the Zenith mailing list. -- ============================================ Jim B Belcher BS, MS Physics, Math, Computer Science A&P/IA ============================================ ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 04:41:19 PM PST US From: "Bob McArdle" Subject: Zenith601-List: Dual throttle 601xl Has anyone come up with a smoother operating dual throttle linkage? With the curve downward on each throttle cable mine is not smooth. There must be a better way. Bob ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 05:02:07 PM PST US From: Paul Mulwitz Subject: Re: Zenith601-List: Dual throttle 601xl Hi Bob, I didn't like the dual throttle in the kit, so I did a major redesign for my plane. I copied the torque tube and moved it inside the cockpit. It mounts with the arms hanging down to the bottom of the horizontal channel that runs between the firewall and instrument panel. It also mounts to brackets on both side skins. The arms are long enough that they hang down to the same level as the throttle on the engine. The throttle cable goes through the firewall at throttle height and makes its way to a new brass fitting that is only an inch long instead of the long one from the Jabiru USA kit. I mounted the throttle knobs on the side of the cabin where my short arms can reach without leaning out of the seat. I also put the carb heat knob with the pilot's throttle knob. All in, it was a huge change and took several weeks of effort. I do think it was worth it since the throttle is very smooth now from either the pilot or copilot side. I can probably dig up some photos if you want them. I don't have any drawings. To build one just like mine you will need some 3/8 O.D. tubing and some flat stock to weld to it in three places. I reused the nylon bearings for the center mount location and made some new ones for the skin mount.
