Will roughly follow the construction of my RV-10, a 4 place aluminum airplane. Click on any picture to enlarge. Comments are encouraged.

Control cables
Installed the throttle, governer, and mixture cables. Between mounting the quadrant, and running the cables it took two days work. The cables could have been about an inch longer and it would have been much easier.
Feeding the cables through the firewall was fun, especially getting the fittings through the holes which already had the cables in them. I had to add another hole above the three holes which I drilled during the firewall construction. The middle hole did not get used so I covered the area with a layer of stasinless on the engine side, and a layer of .093 aluminum on the cockpit side. All held together by the three fittings the cables go through.
