Posted: Mon Nov 09, 2009 10:12 am Post subject: Throttle Cable Stretch

Over the last 100 hours of flying I have seen my idle RPM climb slowly

till it was finally idling at close to 1,200 RPM when warm. It was less

noticeable on start up but after a flight full back on the throttle

still had me generating significant thrust. I understand this is

somewhat common and that it is related to the throttle cable stretching.

The end result is some rapid taxiing and long landings. Plus more brake

input that is ideal. We looked at the idle stops and linkage but when

all was said & done we shortened the throttle cable a few turns to get

the idle down to ~625-650 cold which put me right on 750 warm. Ahhhh,

much better when set there.
