Whilst I’m still waiting for the aliminium to fix my wing rigging issues I've decided to install the throttle today. I have an AeroConversions throttle and I was trying to figure out where to install this in combination with the standard trim lever setup, people with a dial-a-trim system seem to just attach it to the aft vertical wing attach angle but when you have the standard trim lever between the forward and aft wing attach angles, the throttle sits too close to the trim leaver, at least in my view. I could attach the throttle a bit higher above the trim lever so it sticks out just above the upper longeron, but when I sat in my airplane and tried out how this would feel it did not feel comfortable to me. I’m not the tallest person in the world, maybe others would feel more comfortable with this solution. Surely others must have run into the same dilemma so I researched a bit on the net to see what my options are but I could not find much information on the subject so I had to come up with my own solution. I decided to install the throttle slightly higher than the trim lever, still well below the upper longeron but move it back 2” behind the aft vertical wing attach angle, I did this using a piece of 1”x1”x.125” angle and a plate to attach the angle to the aft vertical wing attach angle. I will have to make a slit in the aft wing attach angle and a hole in the forward wing attach angle to lead the cable behind the flap, brake and trim leavers.
