If I were to guess, the ball bearing for the cable is in the housing mounted to your panel where the knobs slide in and out. When it was pulled back it came out and stayed in the tube end of the housing. Dismount the housing at the panel, pull the cable out and pour the bearing out.

@KitplaneEnthusiast 2 месяца назад

You’re a genius! The dang ball was indeed still in the housing. All fixed! Thank you.

Just subbed! We have similar channels. I’m documenting the build of my Rans S-21 Outbound. I’m currently at firewall forward and Dynon avionics install. Been watching your Dynon wiring videos the past couple days. Good stuff!

Nice to see you again . But do appreciate the time it takes you to do these videos which takes you away from building

@kr6dr 2 месяца назад

McMaster Carr has the ball bearing you need. They ship quickly too. You can measure the diameter of the hole on the cable and the ball diameter will be slightly smaller to fit.

What an incredible setup!! Awesome use of space, love the light colored walls for light, LOVE the workshop area!! Really well thought out! Great stuff, thank you for sharing!! Oh, plus, your taste in airplanes is icing on the cake, LOVE all of them!

@stix2you 2 месяца назад

I've only ever built one airplane, but I know exactly what you mean about "it's not just coming in the hangar and getting to work" if you don't know how to do something -- it's sort of like action paralysis, you just sit there and think for a long time. I was lucky to have a couple old guys who had built the same airplane, one of them had done it multiple times! That wealth of knowledge can't be put in a book! I could always call them. But yeah, I would spend hours sometimes trying to figure out the best way to do something, try something and fail, and then try it again until I got it -- that method can be expensive if you are building an aluminum airplane though!!! ;)

Your doing great! Plz don't let little setbacks bug you! For 30+ years I worked at a large company, my job was a combination of DARPA and Skunk Works rolled into one. LOL. Needless to say, I've seen my share of problems. 8) Your work looks outstanding, and you are a great example for others to follow. Have a little slip, just relax, think about it, fix it and keep going. Again, great work, congrats!! 8) --gary

Aeronca Champ....the throttle cable housing is secured to the engine mount tubing. It's been done like that for 78 years. I don't notice the throttle setting changing on my champ.

That little ball bearing is somewhere in the airplane; you'll find it a few days after you have installed a new one. 😁

@KitplaneEnthusiast 2 месяца назад

So true!

@MrFouryaks 2 месяца назад

You can order the ball bearing from aircraft spruce. Don't ask how i know.....

You could 3d print a cup holder that fits in the hole, it could still be removed for inspection underneath

@anthonyrstrawbridge 2 месяца назад

People like simple solutions....which is why the ball fell out - well both that and gravity. Obviously buying a new assembly - a kit might appeal to you. That said maybe you should consider using a piece of adhesive tape or is that to simple? How about taking apart a retractable ball point pen - surely not! Definitely you need an IA and A&P. God bless you man!

@smoepick5855 2 месяца назад

It looks like your carb is installed backward. On most applications the mixture lever faces forward. The throttle cable would then come down from the left aft end of the engine attached to the engine on the accessory section of the engine.

@KitplaneEnthusiast 2 месяца назад

hmm, it could be. Thank you Lycoming for providing NO instructions whatsoever.

@tjansson8481 2 месяца назад

As I recall, pull the silver knob and wire all the way out of the sleeve. With the ramp facing up, place the ball in the ramp and slide the wire back in to engage the ball bearing in the hole in the sleeve. Don't forget to put the spring on the silver knob first. Good luck.

@KitplaneEnthusiast 2 месяца назад

I'll have to see if I can find the correct sized ball!

@billdavis9350 2 месяца назад

Having built several RV aircraft I can tell you Vans has a bracket that sandwiches between the sump and the throttle servo; the mixture and the throttle cable are secured to it. This way when the engine shakes it will shake with it. If you would like me to email you a plans view of it I would be happy to.

I’m curious how the condition inspection on the UL 350 in the Cruiser went. Have you seen any issues?

@KitplaneEnthusiast 2 месяца назад

Other than the cracked muffler a year or so ago, I've had no issues. I did replace all 8 spark plugs and it seems to idle smoother now after a cold start. This has really been a good engine.

@fly4fun24 Месяц назад

I can't understand how the air entering the cowling will exit. if the baFFle is completely closed OFF with no way for the HOT AIR to scape.

@jerrylittle7797 2 месяца назад

Think about using a clear piece of lexan over the rear tunnel. Mount it from underneath for a smoot finish. It is then a great inspection port and conversation piece.

@stevenwilkes5737 2 месяца назад

Good to hear from you again, Would a 3D printed cover that just snapped into your old jack location be something you would like? I can print something up for you if you would like. That would save you some time. could even integrate a plexi window if that sounds good.

@KitplaneEnthusiast 2 месяца назад

I was thinking of riveting a clear piece of lexan on the bottom and having a cool inspection window. Could you make some thing that snaps in with a window? I guess it doesn't need to snap in-I could rivet it in too.

@stevenwilkes5737 2 месяца назад

@@KitplaneEnthusiast Yes, I can do something that dropped in with a friction fit or just a slight tab to grab the metal thickness that would then have or allow you to bond in a window. This could then be pried out with a plastic scrapper so as not to mar the finish. just need the hole dimensions and the material thickness along with what thickness of lexan you want to use . What I am thinking is sort of a picture frame that is about .06" above the existing metal, with an internal lip for the lexan and several tabs to grip the existing metal.

@KitplaneEnthusiast 2 месяца назад

@@stevenwilkes5737 That sounds interesting. The opening is 4.3215” by 3.25”. The aluminum is .0265. If you send me your email I’ll attach a pic if that helps.

@ryaninman6307 2 месяца назад

don’t use lycom engine what I’m hearing.

@KitplaneEnthusiast 2 месяца назад

I think the Lycoming or Titan engine is the best engine for this airframe, but I'm very disappointed in Lycoming. Not only do they provide NO data on the engine, but they also include a bag of nuts and bolts and clamps and don't even tell me what they are all for or where they go! No, I would never recommend a Lycoming. Go with the Continental Titan.

@Spinner1987CH 2 месяца назад

Thats what I‘ve heard as well. When I bought my IO-360 I went through Aerosport Power. They were just awesome! Every question before the purchase was answered as well long after the engine wss delivered. One of the best customer experiences in the whole build process!

@t-gill9771 2 месяца назад

you were saying you have to trim that front aluminum what about if you measure it to fit and cut slots in it and bend it over you may be able to put some rubber on top of that for support ✌️just food for thought
