McFarlane Control (Prop) - MCS1223-16

Description

McFarlane Push-Pull ControlsMcFarlane offers FAA-PMA approved throttle, propeller, mixture, cowl flap, carb heat, and cabin environment controls for many single engine Cessna, Piper, Grumman and Bellanca aircraft. We also have a wide variety of controls for use on non-certified aircraft.Please view the Eligibility Chart or click "View Eligible Aircraft" above to determine the correct part number for your specific aircraft.See the Customer Testimonials page for what others say about McFarlane controls. Our engine and propeller controls incorporate a number of unique features that make McFarlane Controls the highest quality engine and propeller controls on the market:All metal constructionPilot friendly knobsLifetime lubricationSuperior low friction conduitCustom controls availableRecommended Control Cleaning InstructionsMetal ConstructionUnlike the controls of our competitors that use plastic, McFarlane control fittings and components are made from stainless steel, plated steel, anodized aluminum, and brass. Our Vernier control locking devices are precision formed and heat treated in critical wear areas.A Superior Conduit SystemOur controls have low-friction smoothness and flexibility, even when routed with multiple tight bends. This superior conduit allows for a tighter bend radius without interfering with the controls function, we recommend a 3” minimum bend radius during control routing. Our conduits are made from carbon steel wire, specially formed for increased strength and smooth inside diameter. Two of these wires are coiled in tandem for increased tensile strength. A Teflon jacket extruded over the coiled housing provides additional strength and wear-resistance. A virgin Teflon ® liner in the center of the conduit reduces friction and ensures reliable operation.Knobs Make a DifferenceOur “pilot friendly” knobs are all compression molded from a reinforced aluminum or phenolic. Unlike the soft injection molded knobs of our competitors, our knobs are hard and thermally stable. They're powder coated, scratch-resistant, and do not deteriorate. McFarlane knobs meet the latest F.A.R. requirements for shape and color.Vibration Dampening FeaturesOur metal swivel joints have a unique Viton ® rubber vibration dampening sleeve with a spring load system that dampens engine induced vibration in the push rod guide tube and metal swivel joint. Molded Viton ® boots are also used on the push rod guides to seal out contaminates. The Viton ® rubber withstands the high temperature of the engine environment while resisting degradation from oil and solvents. This system drastically reduces the wear that leads to premature control failure.Special LubricationMcFarlane controls have a special lifetime lubrication applied to critical sliding surfaces, made from a molybdenum disulfide and Teflon ® based lubricant with a synthetic grease base. Our lubricant will reduce friction and prevent galling and contamination locking of the control components from -70 deg F to over 1000 deg F.Consistent QualityThe assembly of McFarlane engine controls is interrupted many times for inspections of all critical elements to ensure only the highest quality controls are produced. Each inner wire swage, each push rod, each conduit fitting and terminal is inspected by our assembly team. As a further measure of quality, a second inspector also checks each critical detail to make sure only controls of the highest quality pass inspection. Attention is given to every detail at McFarlane Aviation. For instance, we verify the torque required to operate every vernier control to ensure it operates properly and has that smooth feel our customers have come to expect.Tough in any EnvironmentThe McFarlane controls have an outstanding performance and reliability record in all environments; we test them in the harshest environments to ensure they will provide a long and reliable service life. Bush pilots prefer our controls because they work freely at 50 deg below zero and h
