Dayton,

Did you make the throttle quadrant I'm installing in my RV-9?

It sure is "perddy"!

Dayton,

That sure is a nice quadrant. I can't wait to do more than pretend it is hooked up to something. Go a head and use that picture, if you want.

Originally I was going to install both a center quadrant and one on the left and interconnect them via nested torque tubes. Then I got lazy and decided one in the center would be fine. Now if you had such a unit I could just bolt in...

Default Quadrants Interconnect

Hi Bill
Remember the KISS principle ?Keep it simple?. I believe when it comes to engine control that the most direct linkage with the lowest part count possible will be the safest system.
Interconnecting quadrants in a tandem aircraft is less complicated then side-by-side aircraft. The levers are inline and a connecting rod is all that is needed to complete the system, where as side-by-side aircraft require torque tubes,bell cranks,push rods,and hardware. A single quadrant in the center is the way to go. (IMHO) Thanks for responding Bill I look forward to meeting you some day and I will use your image on my web page.

Dayton,

Along with the pictures and testimonials, you should provide install instructions and/or list of parts needed. The quadrant looks great. The only thing holding me back is that I have no idea how much work it's going to be. I know I'd at least need to get different control cables from somewhere.

Dave
