Brief Description: Mixture control
|
|
In keeping with fully dual controls, I mounted the mixture control in the center of the panel. I debated on have it near the PIC throttle which would be a bit more comfortable, but then the copilot would have to reach all the way across the cockpit to operate it... not impossible with such a "cozy" cockpit ;-))))
I had to fabricate another bracket to support the engine side of the cable, plus decide what fitting to use to attach to the mixture control arm on the carb. I'm pretty confident that its a solid intallation. It wouldn't seem like a lot of time would be needed, but lots of head scratching is involved!
You can also see by the first picture that I have been VERY busy wiring! I've learned how to crimp the tiny pins and insert them into serial connectors. Each wire is labeled and routed to it proper place. Now its about making sure my EFIS talks to my transponder, Com radio, Nav radio, VPX power management system, ELT, GPS, EIS and ADS-B out devices. So far only one smoker ;-)
