Throttle RPM Oddity
Hi Geoff, Could you rephrase your post to make it clear what a clever avionics tech is and so not offensive to other avionics systems people ? So did you ask an "avionics tech" to remove the wire ? If

Your Opinion
Got one fitted on the TriQ, but only set up currently to warn when it gets to 5 Degrees C. Might have a look to add a scale on the EFIS for a constant readout. Br Rich T.

Thanks Bill, that is some interesting information to consider. The reason I select carb heat cold on late final is not damage to the engine but Rich Cut, and even then that is not a problem if you are

Tri-Q vs QAC Belly Boards
Already made a new lever with the ratchet, but it's easy enough to lock in or out either end. As the rest is already there, manual sounds the easiest option for me with a new bit of leverage sorted ou

Thanks Jay, Glad I have my uses. I have just noticed that your reflex lever is behind your bulkhead. Is that a mod or have I got mine wrong ? Looks pretty busy under your panel. Br Rich T.
