    Yes they work with dual throttles so long as you get the right one so passenger side isn't locked ,gets rid of all that linkage system mine works great

    Hi Lyndon I had similar situation on my 701 very close to the linkage so I removed mine and put in a vernier style throttle , cables eliminates all the linkages just have two cables to carbys

    I used citra strip on my 701 none corrosive paint stripper painted it on with brush then wrapped it in glad wrap left it on for about an hour then pressure washed it off did a great job came back to nice clean aluminium.

    I just get one of those green scouring pads and spray wd40 on it and scrub all the crap off then it leaves a coating on to repel moisture never had any surface rust on the cables, if I ever any rust on them I would replace them can't be sure how far it has penetrated the cables .

    I never trust the over flow bottle l always check the radiator for being full,you just don't know if it has pulled the water back in to the radiator to the safe level.

    You really need to make a better inspection point to access the radiator cap like M61A1 said over flow doesn't mean the radiator is full ,how do you access the oil tank does it have a seperate inspection point . Cheers Geoff

    Should be vented otherwise it won't return to the radiator it will create a vacuum and won't be drawn back as it cools

    My Drifter has it mounted horizontally but have seen mates Drifter with it mounted vertical had done 800 hrs with no problems .

    I would go with Mike suggestion sleeve it re drill it is it the flap actuator tube.
  19. skyfox1
    That will make it easier to turn with hole like that don't think he used a drill press for that one ,

    I was told by a friend who spoke to the owner of the aircraft pilot was on his first solo cross country trip ,pilot bit short on final and at full flaps applying power to reach the thresh hold plane pitched up and stalled dropped a wing rolled over .

    Just saw the last pic now you can see the problem shouldn't be to hard to fix
  22. skyfox1
    Just looking at the pic you might have to cut the welds off start again don't want bend the tube you haven't got much to play with looks like it's the left side needs fixing
  23. skyfox1
    Where is it bent and how did it bend

    I have a 72 inch IVO prop with inflight adjustment just using 2 blades at the moment see how she flys then might put the third blade on see if their much difference trying to keep the weight down their quite heavy blades.
