RE: Remote Needle Valves
ORIGINAL: Missileman
1. I would have been well clear of the side of the prop and, in fact, would have been behind the wing as much as I could get with the airplane sitting on my bed trying to take a picture of the needle. Look again, I have my left hand on the needle so the rest my body is well clear of the prop arc and am clearly standing behind the prop, not in front as you suggest.
2. I was only showing the difference between a remote needle and a strait needle at the OPs request via a PM
3. I was also holding a camera in my right hand and trying to get a good angle on the needle for the pic.

The pictures of misselman posted...that's a NO, NO of an angle to be puting your fingers/hand when adjusting
a needle valve.
Adjust it from the BACK, NOT the SIDE. Meaning stand on your wing if you have to.
It will obviousely prevent you from reaching over to prop, if you're standing behind the engine.
I just don't understand..how people can still want to stand in front of the prop and reach over.

I understood that much. Thanks so much for taking those pics; I was gung-ho for the carb-mounted needle until I saw those! Very nice of you to do that. I wonder if my plane will ever sleep in my bed...[:-]
