Could anybody provide feedback on actually using this throttle?
http://www.mcfarlaneaviation.com/Details.aspx?ID=11744352&Article=199
What are the advantages? I find my current throttle (A-800 or similar number) from
AS not easy to adjust and I wonder if you have found any improvements with
the mcfarlane throttle. All I have seen so far is adds about the throttle but
have not hear from anybody using it.
Thanks,
Greg

I've been using the McFarlane throttle for quite awhile now, and really like
it. No complaints at all. Nice smooth action. Solved all the problems of
keeping carbs balanced.

I had nothing but trouble with the friction lock style. The 912 carb
springs are so strong that once you set the friction lock the instrument
panel is so thin, on the 701, that it gives enough to raise the rpm about
300 when you let go. I changed to the veneer type, fine adjustment when you
need it and full throttle is just a button push away.

Good point. I put a 1.6mm doubler behind that corner of the panel.

Greg,
Coming from an Ultralight background, I use a quadrant type throttle on the
left side just in front of the seat. I rest my hand on it comfortably, and
the friction lock seems to work well. To me, it's a good alternative to a
panel mounted throttle.
Les

I think I got the first Mcfarlane 2 in 1 throttle they made for the
rotax...put in the order before they had it ready to sell anyway, and
waited a while for it. I have tried a bunch of throttle setups and this
is the first one I have found that keeps the carbs synched. I installed
it and did a mechanical sync and checked it with the oil gauge and it
was the closest I have ever gotten it, smoothest it's ever been and it's
stayed that way...I didn't do any further adjustments. If I remember
right, it was within about 2" of oil all the way thru the rpm range that
I checked. I think that's hardly readable in mercury. JG knows what it
equates to, I believe.
Highly recommended
Joe Spencer
