It seems like you need to have the friction block and bellcrank in place to find the exact location of the holes in the instrument panel.

  

 Can someone give me the approximate position? I am laying out my instrument panel and want to know what area I need to reserve.

  

  

 Thanks,

 John Marzulli

Don’t cut metal based on these but the original holes in my panel for the rigid throttle rods shown in the plans (which I didn’t use) appeared to be symmetrical. Both the copilot and pilot-side holes are 4.5 inches over from the lower corners of the panel and 3.75 inches up from the lower edge of the panel.  

   

Some people like the throttle design in the plans and some don’t (go figure). I didn’t with a Rotax 912 as the springs on the carbs make it hard to get the friction just right. I went with a vernier throttle on the pilot side and no throttle on the copilot side. Since the cable from the throttle to the firewall is flexible I also gained “flexibility” in the placement of the throttle on my panel. Life is full of compromises.  

   

If you are installing a Rotax and go with just a single throttle there is a throttle from McFarlane that splits into two cables at the panel. Joe Spencer installed one and his initial reports were positive:

This allows you to eliminate the linkage/mixer rod forward of the firewall.

John, I reserved the left 1/5th of the panel on each side for this.  I put the choke on the left, nearest the door and the throttle above that.  I put the elevator trim just above the throttle so I could operate the trim without removing my hand from the throttle. 



On the other side, I put the cabin heat, Hobbs, and other throttle.  



I can send pics if you want.
