Filing Flight Plan
My son flies a 182 and recently bought a 150 H. On his 182 the mixture control has a friction type and stays put where he puts it. On the 150 it's just a pull and push control. Did the 150 H come with just a push and pull or did it come with a friction type. With the push-pull it doesn't want to stay in the rich position, it will slowly move back to the center position with the motor running. The carburetor was just rebuilt and the engine runs supper smooth and has a great idle. I checked to see if the cable was in a bend and it looks to be an almost straight movement and not like so much that I have read about and also seen on U-tube about bending so much where it comes out of the shield... The mixture arm goes to full body stop in the rich and lean positions. Should we look for another control that has a friction adjustment on the cable or is this a normal operation on the 150 H?
