Have you considered this combination for the RV10? Like to hear your comments on this one.

(I'm repairing one in my garage at the same time.) One thing that I'm having trouble with is finding manufacturers willing to create and distribute some of the prefabricated parts that Quickie Aircraft Corporation supplied. Can you describe the process you used with Cleaveland Tools? I'm just curious. You can feel free to contact me through my website if that's more convenient as well. Great blog, very informative.

]]> Comment on Dual Throttle Set-up for an RV by Gary Gustafson http://kitaircraftmods.com/2007/01/17/dual-throttle-set-up-for-an-rv/#comment-826 Gary Gustafson Wed, 09 Jan 2008 23:09:18 +0000 http://kitaircraftmods.com/2007/01/17/dual-throttle-set-up-for-an-rv/#comment-826 I am a parapelegic building a Murphy Rebel, hopefully with a dual throttle. I have purchased a Harley Davidson hand throttle control that I intend to mount on top of the Aileron/Elevator stick between my legs. I hope to also have a throttle on the console, but am having trouble designing a way to have two separate inputs control one throttle. So I ask if you could send me larger pictures to see if I can use your idea in my set up. Thanking you in advance for your assistance.

I'm presently trying to decide on an RV-7 as the sole builder or an RV-10 with a partner. If I decide the RV-10 is the one, I will be contacting you for this mod. Surprised Van's didn't come up with something similar! Kudo's! Best Wishes, Ned Nice job Dave! I’m presently trying to decide on an RV-7 as the sole builder or an RV-10 with a partner.
