I got my IO540 delivered today. I got 2 HF 30" dollys, screwed them together and set the pallet right on them. It worked like a charm. Thank you for the advice.
Rest in Peace Mr. Riley Spoon (RV-12)

Sparrowhwk Throttle PIREP
I have this (see below), and the prop RPM wanders as the friction doesn't hold the lever firmly irrespective of the friction adjustment knob. So I am looking at changing it out for the JDM formation version. I think I could choose either the flat top or rounded top in my installation - so which one would I prefer?? I don't have any specific preference style-wise - just want to know if there is a reason to prefer one over the other.
I see some have replaced the control cables at the same time - my cable seem to work ok (not sure the brand) but I was wondering if I would regret doing the cable change down the road one day?
When giving advice, please bear in mind I am not the builder and only have the most basic tools and no building knowledge or local mechanical support.
Thanks

Lycoming IO540 delivery - need advice
I got the email informing me that my IO540 from Lycoming got shipped. I have a small shop and need at least 6-8 months before I can mount the engine. Looking for suggestions for a trolley that can be used to keep the crate and move it around the shop as required.

Three Lever Flat Top Quadrant Formation by DJM mfg.
Years ago I replaced Van's kit RV-8 throttle quadrant with the new DJM Manufacturing's Deluxe Throttle quadrant. The improvement to the Doll's control panel was huge! When I first saw the Deluxe quad it had the Prop and Mixture levers bent over 90 degrees. On long cruise legs, I cross my feet...
