McFarlane "Vernier Assist" Throttle Control
I now have several hours on my McFarlane "Vernier Assist" throttle control. I designed and fabricated a reversing bell crank which was necessary since I use a Sonex/AeroConversion "AeroInjector" throttle body carb on my Jab 3300. The details of this installation are in a blog I posted here. I really like this throttle control. The ergonomics are great - when your hand is on the throttle, the friction control ring just naturally falls at your fingertips. When you want to slightly adjust rpms, a few twists of the throttle knob's vernier action is all it takes! This throttle would work great whether you need a reversing bell crank or not, such as with the Bing carb.

I've also installed a McFarlane vernier assist throttle on the pilot side and a simple McFarlane friction lock throttle on the other side of my 750 Cruzer with a Jabiru 3300 and bing carb. Both are working nicely. I now have about 15 hours on them and am quite happy with the improved control they give me compared to the rigid rod throttle linkages in the dual throttle kit that came with the Jabiru 3300 FWF set up.

Hi John,
Hope this appropriate to add here. I am interested in this throttle cable and curious if any have installed for a 601/650 with dual throttle setup and if so which cable they used. I have been considering this since I first saw it. Hoping if anyone has they will reply here or send me an email.
Merry Christmas John.
