Default alternative linkage connection for Walbro/Zama

longer reach for better throttle resolution.
Give me an idea of the length your talking about . I understand the principle.


grind a "flat" on the shaft so it doesn't vibrate loose and locktite it on
I visualize the flat, this steering arm must have a set screw to utilize the locktite?

What do you use for attachment of this arm to the control cable/rod?

The following really confuses me,,
a equally long arm for your servo and you have very PRECISE throttle control
I would think that where power/torque from the servo is not necessary, to get better resolution you should shorten the arm @ servo and use more 100% of the rotational range of the servo. Are you sure the length of the arm at the servo needs to be lengthened?

I have not checked the radio programming yet, I'm a builder at this point not a pilot, but it would seem that the expo thing might be a method of getting more more resolution of the carb butterfly. (desenitize the throttle?) if is is applicaple to the throttle chan..

I have digressed, to another subject again. My post was connectors to get rid of slop.

BYW , how did you get your handle? Just kidding, please take no offense! (Maybe I take things too literally! )


strato911 I'm considering you new hole idea. It reduces the resolution somewhat, but more important is that I have all the holes drilled and control rods set for the old hole location of factory connector.
