Glenn,
If you have sufficient space between the end of the throttle lever and the face
of the instrument panel and all that is preventing full throttle travel it the
slot in the top of the throttle quadrant, then get a thin file and gently file
the slot forward enough to obtain your full throttle opening. It shouldn't
take much additional movement of the throttle lever to get your 3mm at the
carbs.
Be sure you replace your throttle lever idle stop as required by Rotax.

'quadrant' plate in the cockpit is too short by about ~2cm. Has anyone
encountered
this? The build manual does not indicate dimensions of the throttle lever,
so either there is a mal-position of holes in the arm, or the slot was too
short to start with, or both. We have not yet opened the throttle lever box.
The aircraft has over 400hrs of normal ops, but we worry we might be a tad short
of full rated T/O power.
