Paul: I am building a Vision Ex aircraft with centre control stick.

I want to install duel throttle system for both pilot and co – pilot left and right on the instrument panel

I have a 13B p port with the slide throttle as on the website.


Any suggestions on how to build and install, may be a bell crank system to push and pull the slide throttle?

I would use a torsion bar. 1/2 or 5/8 inch diameter 4130 tube about .049 wall
24 inches long. Mount it about 2 inches behind the panel.

The levers should be about 4 inches center to center.

The throttle push rods will move about 4 inches while the slide moves 2 inches,

This will cut the force necessary to move the slide and give finer control.

Use small rod ends for joints.

For the new guys.
