12.3.1 – Installing Throttle, Mixture, and Prop Controls

This entry is part 15 of 50 in the series 12 - Engine / Propeller

I have been dreading pulling the engine control cables from the front of the cabin through the left wiring duct to the back of the plane. After we got the oil lines installed and pulled the brake lines, it just started looking like getting the engine control cables through was going to be a problem.

So me and my son Steve spent about an hour trying different things and finally got all three control cables through.

Here’s a picture on the engine controls on the permanently mounted “Engine Control Sub-Panel” (another Hangar 18 innovation).

A view from the side.

Where they exit at the firewall.
