 |
|
A while back Brett Ray (brett(at)hog-air.com) made a Harley engine conversion
and put one in his 601XL with a twist throttle. It uses a friction lock and
he seemed happy with it. He has since sold the plane and is no longer on
the list, but if you were really curious the e-mail may still be valid.

Has anyone ever tried a twist throttle on the stick?

Hello all,
I'm a newby to the group but here is my experience with the twist throttle.
A few years ago I flew an Ultralight (Aerolight 103) with a twist grip
throttle incorporated into a break lever (tube, pull up for breaking) on the
left side. So my left hand was twisting for throttle and flying with right.
It also had a friction lock but made the twisting difficult. Although it did
the job it is not intuitive as the standard throttles are. I found myself
twisting in the wrong direction many times. This was not good but I had
plenty of time to correct.... My opinion is the standard throttles. Oh, the
factory discontinued it shortly after and went to standard throttles.

worked real good... if you have a center stick. , u you twist it open to the
back, just like on a bike. it helps to havea push pull cable set up carb.
