oscarm98 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I am looking to purchase the small "standard" aluminum throttle, mixture and carb heat knobs for my Long-EZ. note: I do NOT need the whole throttle quadrant, just the knobs Please call or e-mail me if you have some for sale or know of where I can get a reasonable set. Thank you. Oscar 630-660-6258 (cell) oscarm98@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMann Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Depending on what you have ....... Check out James Redmon's : Berkut site He did not care for the standard knobs that came with his throttle quadrant so he replaced them with some nice metalic cabinet knobs from Home Depot (or the like.) It looks good.

Waiter Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 TMann, I used large plastic balls (beads - 5/8 inch in diameter) that you can get at any hobby shop. I cut a small slot in them with a Dremal, then epoxied them onto the handles.

longez360 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Whatever you decide to put in, throw it up in the air and if it comes back down it's too heavy.. Stick with plastic. Another thought is the colored handle knobs from piper aircraft e.g. lance. Maybe there is something to be had there.

Waiter Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I got my fuel strake screen from them (Brass well head screen used to keep sand out of water pumps) 1/2 inch thick rubber used to make nose bumper. Foam used to mount landing gear computer on (vibration isolation) Check out their web site and order a free catalog. http://www.mcmaster.com Waiter Quote F16 performance on a Piper Cub budget LongEZ, 160hp, MT CS Prop, Downdraft cooling, Full retract visit: www.iflyez.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
