    Default Has anyone put in a throttle quadrant?

    Has anyone installed a throttle quadrant instead of the push pull cables in a KitFox? I'm sure people have, anyone with any pictures or information?

    Thanks

    Certainly possible, and not difficult. But why? The normal center position is very
    natural. If you just prefer a quadrant it should be easy to figure out how to
    install. Probably make getting in and out of the plane a hassle assuming you
    put on the left.

    Going to guess your going for between the seats ? Or just in front of them?

    I was thinking a center quadrant. Althoigh it might get a bit tight with the adjustable rudder pedas and flap handle.....

    It has been done by Murle Williams on a model 4 back in the early 2000's. He also has a model 7 he's going to do the same on. I have no photos of the set up and the model 4 was destroyed in an accident but the owner said he loved the set up and it worked well.

    I have a solution!!! This will not interfere with ANYTHING on the center
    console.
