Bob,
I have been using solid Bowden cable sold by ACS. I posted a mod severa
l years ago that I am sure can be extracted from the archives. While I
am sure there are a number of folks using the stranded wire setup with s
uccess, I wasn't comfortable using a cable in this application. Having
to rely on springs to advance/pull the throttle cable didn't sit well wi
th me. Solid wire is really suited for push/pull applications. I don't
know if you recall a mishap that occurred many years ago which was attr
ibuted to a sticking throttle cable. I believe it was a standard Europa
installation. Anyway, the pilot decided to execute a go-around and qui
ckly advanced the throttle only to have it kink within the throttle hous
ing; limiting available throttle to little more than idle power. The su
bsequent forced landing totaled the plane. Food for thought.
