>On the list of things I would do differently is the throttle lever housing
for the Mark 1.
The manual suggests that the hole for access to set the friction be on the
stbd side. Once installed, there is a conflict between the wrench and the
flap drive pushrod (at least in my plane) making it difficult to get the
wrench in to adjust throttle friction. Placing the access hole on the port
side of the throttle housing would avoid this problem. Anyone see a down
side to this approach?<
Funnily enough I have just come across the same problem and e-mailed the
same suggestion to Andy Draper. He has not any other inputs on this and
will be looking into it.
I found that it was just possible to squeeze a small socket wrench into
position. If there is not enough room on yours, using just a square drive
pin and a 1/4" spanner (wrench) might save having to remove the throttle
housing.
