There was some discussion on the RV List in late 2000
regarding the use of a left hand throttle quadrant on an RV-6 and Eustace
mentioned he had performed this modification (along with many others) on his
RV. Eustace sent me some pictures of his throttle quadrant as well as
some others.
It sure looks like nice flying up there in Canada.

Here is a shot of the throttle quadrant system that Eustace
uses on his RV-6. The quadrant is partially blocked by the stick but
you get the idea. Not the manual trim lever on the arm rest.
Cool Idea.

Here is a full shot of the panel and throttle quadrant. |

We've all heard about Eustace and learned from his
experience but few have had the chance to see him in person. This
picture will have to do until you see him at the next fly-in. |

Living and flying in Canada, Eustace designed this setup to
mount his RV on floats. This would be the way to go if I lived
anywhere near the water. |

On his visit to Oshkosh in the summer of 2000, world
traveler Jon Johanssan had the chance to visit Eustace for a day or so
and, like any RV pilot, didn't pass up an opportunity to fly some
formation with Jon. |
