ACS Custom Throttle / Mixture / Prop Controls

This line of controls was manufactured by us from 1980 to 1985. As of June, 1985 the controls have been manufactured by ACS Products Company in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. The manufacturing and inspection procedures have been approved by the FAA and original equipment manufacturers. The following engineering data will aid in properly identifying the control most suited to each individual requirement. Also shown are some available options for the controls such as plastic protective covering and steel sleeves for clamping the control to the aircraft structure.

Important Notes: Custom length controls are not FAA Approved and are intended for use in experimental aircraft only. The only ACS controls that are FAA Approved are part #'s A-790-12 and A-800-12. RV builders / owners should not use the customer control order form. Instead see the RV specific cables under part #05-01436 and 05-01435.

ORDERING NOTES



PLASTIC COVERING ON CONTROL CASING
All ACS controls can be supplied with a black Polyolefin (PO) protective cover. Price of the PO cover carries a base price plus per foot price.

STEEL SLEEVES ON CONTROL CASING
Cadmium plated 2" long steel sleeves can be added to the casing to provide clamping points for securing the control to the aircraft structure. Specify sleeve location (measurement taken from under the panel nut to mid-point of sleeve). Sleeves are normally swaged to the casing but will be left unswaged when swaged box is unchecked above.

THREADED STEEL SLEEVES ON CONTROL CASING
Threaded steel sleeves (bulkhead fittings) can be added to the casing to provide secure clamping of the control where it passes through a bulkhead. The cadmium plated sleeves are 2" long, with 1-1/2" length of 7/16-20 threads. Specify sleeve location (measurement taken from under the panel nut to mid-point of sleeve). Sleeves are normally swaged to the casing but will be left unswaged when unchecked above.
