    G`morning Dutch
    I just looked on the Chief website and I don`t see the vernier throttle listed,just the standard friction lock ones. Am I missing something?
    I have the standard friction lock supplied in the mid 90`s kits and am looking at up-grading.
    Cheers

    Don,
    They don't have it in their catalog as of yet. But have access to all of MCFARLANE products. call 800-447-3408 & tell them what you need & they will have it shipped directly from MCFARLANE to you. Nice folks & like I said before.
    Cheaper than buying it directly from MCFARLANE.
    The kit includes all the hardware.Inluding new springs. cable ends, cable locks, & nuts, washers, & even a little hex wrench.

    How long does the cable have to be for a Modell 4 Speedster?

    I sure would lie some information about the soft start module change.

    Chief Aircraft no longer sells throttle cables. I ordered over internet only to have them message me they no longer sell them and failed to remove from catalog....

    I got mine from Kitfox in my firewall forward kit. I wasn't expecting that. I had seen Desertfox1's throttle and new I was going to get that vernier throttle. Contacted the company and everything. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Kitfox supplies it in the 912is package.

    How did you set the cable up? Did you use the spring assist on throttles?
    I hear some do and some don't use them. Any help? Forgot to mention going in a model 7 with rotax 912...

    These cables are designed to pull only, not push. The spring on the carburetor opens the throttle, the cable pulls it closed.
