Has anyone put (or seen) an RV-8 Deluxe quadrant (the

cool black one from Van's) installed in an RV-4?  Any

idea if it will fit well in the same location?

Should fit fine just like it did in my RV-3...

Note that you will need to rivet some angle to the fuselage side so if your 

bird is painted you'll need to deal with that.

Hi Paul,



I installed the RV-8 throttle quadrant in my -4 and it looks great and works 

well with one exception; the knobs on the prop and mixture controls protrude 

more than the standard -4 knobs and reduce stick travel slightly.  My knee 

contacts the knobs and the stick touches my knee...  It is most noticeable 

when doing aileron rolls to the left.  I have on my "to do" list to modify 

the lever arms to locate the knobs for these levers to be flush with the 

throttle quadrant body.



Good luck

I have some photos available of my RV-4 throttle quadrant on Flickr.  Try 

this link and you should be able to view them.  If not, contact me directly 

and I can email them.
