Location of Reflexor Control
Good afternoon all,
While I am in progress on the panel upgrade and re-mounting controls I wondered if anyone had their reflexor push/pull in a different location that they like better. I think the plans called for it to be in the middle at a 30-degree tilt. Mine is over on the left side aft of the throttle. Seems like a good location to me and keeps my right hand free on the stick so I don't really have any problems. But has anyone found an even better location that could be considered? I am going to do something with my alt air control as it is just too crammed down under the throttle and mixture and is hard to reach. -- Corbin N121CG

Corbin---------- This is my reflexor controler. The throttle is the black lever the turbo is the smaller red and in front is the reflexor control.
If it looks like a lawn mower throttle cable, that is because it is. I've had this system on my other airplane for 25 years. Still working. Take care------------- Chris -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Interesting! Mine is easy to forget about since it is black and down out of sight. But is a clean install and looks nice. I like the idea of your throttle being a lever instead of a push/pull.

Corbin, I have mine in the center console, just aft of the stick and operate it with my left hand. It's mostly set-and-forget. I adjust it before takeoff, in cruise flight and when slowing down to enter the pattern.

I use the same set and forget process and adjustment times as Sam, but mine is an additional stick below the throttle on the left side. If I loosen the friction lock it can serve as a back-up pitch control, should something happen to the elevator linkage.
Here is a picture of what it looks like without the consoles installed. http://n8wq.scheevel.com/images/build_photos/2016/reflexor_fully_installed7.jpg

That helps to see one in the center location. I might just go with the "if it ain't broke then don't fix it" method after more thought. I don't want to enter my typical habit of overthinking things. Corbin
