Just found another gotcha on my new pride and joy.
The throttle cable was routed directly under the engine sump and has melted itself to the sump. The plane has a standard panel with a quadrant. Looking at the archives it looks like they used to ship 47.5" now the spare part name appears to suggest 49.5”.
Does anyone know the actual length needed?
There is a suggestion to go 3rd party and design your own as you get a higher temp version. Push-pull has been mentioned with a part no But that appears too short on both length and throw (vans suggest throw of 2 1/8” while mention has been made of 2 1/4”)
Regardless of getting the stock or better heat resistant one i will wrap it in heat resistant sleeve and aluminium.
Build date was circa 2010.
