Control cable routing

04 Dec 2010 Control cable routing

The routing of the throttle, prop, and mixture cables is not really clearly documented that I could find. It was not too tricky, but it is important to get the holes in the aft part of the gear tower aligned up very closely with the bracket for the throttle, otherwise the cables will bind. This took a bit of playing around to get the exact templates, and in the end I decided to extend the bracket to include the holes, then drill through the gear tower. Worked fine.

Here is the view from aft:

Here is the forward part of the gear tower, with the holes. These holes do not necessarily need to line up exactly, since there is now space for the cables to bend a bit.
