Throttle Linkage Problem?
#1
Thread Starter

Has anyone had any radio interference problems with the "metal to metal" conection between the throttle pushrod and the engine's throttle valve?
I'm almost ready to begin engine-run tests and this area looks like it could be a problem. I'm considering soldering a cable from the brass valve to the pushrod - but is it necessary? Any advice?

Thanks for your response Charlie. Good to hear you've had no problems in this area. But the metal to metal connection just looks like a problem waiting to happen so I'm definitely going to use Tink's idea (it's the easiest so far)

I drilled-out the hole in the throttle valve, fitted a length of shrink tube to the pushrod - Job Done
Just a little more "tweaking" and my LMH will be ready for some test flights
Thanks for your help
