Hi all. I am up to installing the engines in my twin-air 45. I will be using OS52's. Can anyone share some ideas on the throttle linkage? It's a tight fit, I had to move the firewall rearward about 1//4". Everything else seems to fall into place ok, but the throttle has really got me thinking. A photo would be very much appreciated!!

Cheers,

Greg

I thought somone would have chimed in.

Ok, I managed to work it out, quite simple really. I used a sero arm, with a brass bush, and tapped a hole in the mount. Similar to the Dubro 4stroke link. The servo will sit in the wing behind the tank, where I will make an access hatch. It is a tight fit, but all works well, and the engine can be taken out easily by dissconnecting the link from the engine.

Hope this helps somone else pondering a 4 stroke set up.

And for those with an astute eye will notice the pic is of an OS48, not a 52. I am using an old 48 as a template.

Cheers,

Greg

I am sure someone would have chimed in if they had experience with what you are doing. My Twin-Air has two strokes so the hookup was pretty straightforward. But I've used a similar setup to what your pics show on other planes and it worked just fine.
