Can anyone please tell me the proper way of hooking up a Zenoah g26 throttle linkage. It will be mounted on a Sopwith camel inverted.

I wish I knew how to attach a picture it would make it so easy to show you ,I use 2-56 hardware ,ball-links and threaded rod ,Sullivan push rods(SUL505,SUL505) and a standard servo . if the carburetor throttle arm is to short you will need to extend it if you look around you could use metal landing gear straps like(dub159) or make your own i use two straps in a triangle shape and bolt it on the throttle 2-56 bolts and nuts,from the fire wall make a stand off 1/8 ply with a bell crank(db161) . run a linkage from the engine to the bell crank using ball links and rod .from the bell crank to the servo i use ball links or 2-56 nylon clevis and use the Sullivan push rods(SUL505,SUL503). IT will take some fussing around but make sure there is very little slop . I try to avoid metal to metal contact so you don't have radio interference ,with 2.4 radios it no as big a problem as it use to be with interference noise from the engine but really try not to have any metal to metal contact

it really depends on the plane and room you have you can also attach a bell crank to the engine itself there are spots on the motor to do this if that works for your plane try it

And you my not need to use a bell crank at all if you have a straight shot to the carburetor and then set it up like any glow engine

Adding images is really easy, just keep them small in size - say under 1MB. That's easy for a web jpeg picture. When you click on "attachments" the button will give you an option to choose a file off of your hard drive or other image source. Click in the file and you're done. If you're not sure the file is attached, click on "Preview" to see what your message will look like. Thanks Rick I will try to figure it out but pictures would sure be nice.

Yeah it worked. Since I’m doing everything from my iPad this is the only way I could figure it out. Now I won’t have to bug my wife to resize my photos on her computer. Hope this helps.

Don that's a very easy set up just run you push rod to the leaver arm with a bull link if you cant get enough leverage screw a landing gear strap to the carburetor and attach the ball link to it.in the first picture it shows a push rod straight to the carburetor in the other picture is with a 90 bell crank the other method i said was the to make a standoff glued to the firewall with the bellcrank attached to it
