 |
|
Hi from Arizona.
Working on IP and am stumped by dual throttles. If I run a throttle cable on each side of my IP, where does the friction come from? I have a center stick. If I have a friction control then how does my co-pilot take over in an emergency? Does anyone have some pictures/drawings of their setup?
601XL with a WW Corvair conversion. N445ML
Thanks in advance for any help.

Check out Williams Wynne's sight (www.flycorvair.com).
He has a picture (I think it is on Phil Maxon's 601)
showing dual control rods running from the IP to a
control bar on the firewall which controls one
throttle cable.

I flew my 701 for 60 hours with two throttles. I had the same concern about operating the right throttle while the left is locked. I sat in the right seat and found I could operate the pilot side throttle just fine. I took the right side throttle out and put a glove box there, now that is a handy item.

Yes, that could be my plane. I used the standard zenith throttle control horn and two push rods through the firewall to control a single cable to the carb. I don't have any throttle locks because there is plenty of friction in the system to keep the throttle from creeping. It works well. I wouldn't change it.

Hey Phil;
Do you happen to have the exact page reference for that photo? I wandered back and forth through WWs site and was unable to stumble over it.
Thanks!

Yes, that's my plane. I must be really lazy, since I didn't even look it up.
That is a picture of the Throttle Bellcrank 6-E-5-1. The bent piece that comes off the front of the shelf is made of steel. If you look carefully, you'll notice a shaped piece of aluminum angle right beside the steel piece. That provides a little resistance by gently bending the rod upward slightly. That is why I don't need throttle locks. Not pictured, on both ends, are straight steel push rods that come trough the panel and through the firewall ala Zenith standard. They connect to the bellcrank with AN3 bolts.
