Throttle loop
 

I just got a used plane and the prior owner used a YS engine and I am using a Saito. The throttle arms are on the opposite sides. Would you think the loop around method would work all the way around the engine?

TIA

Take the carb off of the Saito, turn it around and reinstall. If necessary, take the arm off of the throttle and orient to suit the location.

Thanks,
That helped alot. now I just have to figure out a bell crank idea at the loop won't fit.

You mean like [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=2909197]this?[/link]

I am using this to side-mount a .72 in my cowled SSE so I can get to the needle valve from the top and run the throttle cable under the fuel tank.

Holy Cow Ross! That's some fancy-schmancy set up you got there! Is it working out ok?

Well, I'll have to get back to you on this one. It seems to work very well on the ground. But I haven't quite finished the plane and the engine hasn't been run yet. I figure it will either work like a charm or be a dismal failure. I'm hoping for the former...
