Looks great! I am curious to know where you plan to put the fire extinguisher and which one you are going to use?
Thanks

Interesting. What's the thinking behind using a T-handle throttle quadrant, but a vernier mixture control?
Ours is all on the throttle quadrant.
Steve,Simply personal preference. I like the precision of the vernier for mixture.
Joe- my engine is carbureted. I did send back the 55" mixture cable that came with the FF kit and replaced it with the 51.5 inch length.Steve,
I think your bracket and vernier mixture control is smart. I'm very unhappy with my "deluxe" throttle quadrant with one friction control for three levers.
Could you tell me the source and part number of your vernier cable so I could modify my RV-8A too, please? (I assume your engine is fuel injected.)
I don't see your heater control and alternate air pull cables. You might also want to consider one for an oil cooler door -- I'm finding that to be very necessary.

Since mine is F.I., I'll most likely need a different length. Guess I need to measure.Joe- my engine is carbureted. replaced it with the 51.5 inch length.
Re cabin heat and carb heat, the photo doesn't show it well but those controls are on he right console below the cb's and in front of the cup holder.
After a little investigation it turns out the designed friction is not the best.
Philip,
While I didn't build a rotisserie for my project, I really wish I had. Makes interior work a whole lot easier. I had so many days with a sore chest from leaning on the longerons wile working on stuff in there. Rolling the fuse sideways makes things a whole lot easier.
Big day today....brought the fuselage to the airport on Saturday and got the engine hung today. Sequence was top right, top left, bottom right and bottom left.
Some frustrating moments, but with a little help and persuasion, she's bolted on.
Now I have to figure out how to rotate the back of the prop governor about 180 degrees.
Cheers
Don
