Quadrant

$75.00

The AeroConversions Throttle Quadrant, designed to work with the AeroConversions AeroCarb and other carburetors, is an attractive, simple and easy to install throttle quadrant giving the sport pilot positive and precise throttle control at a competitive price.

Designed for use in a center-cockpit control column, The Throttle Quadrant ST features a placarded backing plate, angled control arm for instrument panel clearance, and dual control grips for authoritative control from both sides of the cockpit. While the standard AeroConversions Throttle Quadrant is intended for mounting on the cockpit wall, the Throttle Quadrant ST is perfectly suited for use in a Sonex or Waiex Sport Trainer configuration.

The AeroConversions Throttle Quadrant works with the newest AeroCarbs fitted with optional pull control (older AeroCarbs may be upgraded for pull control), or with any other carburetor equipped for reversing pull-throttle actuation. Customers may optionally attach external linkage to a hole provided in the upper throttle arm to convert the AeroConversions Throttle Quadrant to a non-reversing control.

The Throttle Quadrant features an adjustable friction knob and an optional push-pull mixture control bracket, integrated pull cable-end fitting, and an open-backed design for easy installation and mounting. Maximum throttle arm throw for both reversing and non-reversing attach points is 39mm.

The Aeroconversions Throttle Quadrant includes the optional mixture control bracket, a 72-inch throttle cable assembly and cable adjusters along with installation instructions which are written with enough general information to accommodate installation in a wide range of aircraft. This assembly package does not include a push-pull mixture cable.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What advantages does this "pull-type" set-up offer over the standard "push-type" set-up in the AeroCarb?

The pull set-up offers a longer throttle travel than the standard set-up, which has been a common request from users of the AeroCarb. It also offers a greater mechanical advantage opening and closing the AeroCarb, which is a nice feature especially for "higher suction" engines like the 3300 Jabiru or larger Continental and Lycoming Engines. This would be the perfect set-up for a pusher engine configuration like the VariEze or Long-EZ.

I have an AeroCarb and would like to upgrade it to the new pull set-up. What is involved with this and what is the cost?

All AeroCarbs manufactured with serial numbers newer than those in the following table are equipped for "IP" (Internal Pull) actuation. If your carb is older than the listed serial numbers, then you may return your AeroCarb to the Sonex Factory for an upgrade. The cost of this upgrade is $50.00. Please be sure to call or e-mail for the issuance of an RMA number before shipping your AeroCarb back to the factory.

AeroCarb Serial Numbers Equipped with Internal Pull Actuation
Carb Model:	Serial Number:
ACV-C02	143 and newer
ACV-C03	545 and newer
ACV-C04	450 and newer
ACV-C05	263 and newer

What kind of modifications do I have to make to a flying Sonex, Waiex, or Xenos in order to install this quadrant?

The throttle cable is replaced by the push/pull wire and housing provided with the Throttle Quadrant. We also moved the canopy latch handle aft to clear the throttle quadrant handle.

Can I convert my standard Throttle Quadrant to a Throttle Quadrant ST?

Yes, for $24.50 Sonex Aircraft, LLC can send you all the parts required to convert your standard Throttle Quadrant to a Throttle Quadrant ST for center control column installation.
