Put throttle to the left side

[Dravenelle]

Hi

I think to move the throtle to the left side ...for take the stick with the right hand.

many people keep the center control for copilot . Can you send me a picture for pivot system to realise that?

Dave, are you asking how to put pilot and copilot throttles on the sides? If so, the Lancair I worked on had side sticks - I know, different animal - but they were connected by a tube with welded arms that crossed behind the instrument panel - think of the torque tubes for the rudder pedals or maybe an extended throttle bellcrank like on the IVs. I think it could be fairly easily done, but you would need someone to do some welding if you are not comfortable doing it yourself. Where are you in CA?

Dave, just sit on the right side and your throttle will be on the left.

The Cessna, Piper and Ercoupe aircraft all fly with the left hand and throttle with the right hand, when in the left seat. It is very natural within the first hour.

Hi,
I am not trying to talk you out of this mod, everyone has to make their own decisions.
I will mention my KF5 had at one time a throttle on the left by the left front corner of the seat, the fellow I bought the plane from spent allot of time and money to convert it back to a typical throttle in the center. He said the throttle on the side seemed to always be in the way for getting in and out.

I personally have only owned two aircraft my current KF5 and previously a Pelican Club, both with stick and center throttle. I learned with this setup and find it harder any other way, it's all what you get used to. I really find a yoke setup strange !

Ya ,but when you sit alone in a right seat ,you dont think you can unset the aircraft with the propeller tork???

I flew a plane with a left throttle. I find it much more natural feeling to have a center throttle, along with the passenger then has the fly the plane in case of an emergency!
