There is a tiny hole that I'm suppose to use to connect my throttle stick to 

the cable. I guess I'm suppose to use a safty wire or a cotter pin. What 

have you guys done here?

Thanks,

Almost Done David

That don't look like a good idea  Your throttle cable is going to fail sooner or later because of where it is bending in the pic 

 Dont ask me how I know this 

 I replaced the throttle with a Quadrant from CPS California Power Systems I did a little mod to it but it is much better and less wear on the cable 

  heres a pic of it

A cotter pin comes with the kit for that purpose, However I would recommend 

that you use a piece of piano (steel) wire bent over on both sides. The 

reason being, If that LITTLE cotter pin breaks or wears out your throttle 

goes closed.

     Just my thoughts.

David/All:



I drill out that tiny hole to 3/32".  Then use a 3/32" A&E clevis pin. 

They are intended for this purpose.  The cotter pin is not.



There was a gentleman that broke his Twinstar because of a broken 

cotter pin in the throttle.



The 3/32" clevis pin can be purchased at most aviation hardware 

sources.

Ellery/Gang:



I have found nothing wrong with the standard Kolb throttle, which I 

have used for a good period of time.



I do replace my throttle cable every 500 to 600 hours as a precaution.



I also replace the cotter pin with a 3/32" clevis pin.
