Hi Allan

John Brodak asked Will Hubin to design a throttle system that is controlled via a normal 3-line handle.  Pete Klepsic (SP?) installed the system in one of his B-25's.

You can also use 2.4 Ghz with a receiver in the model, the system is wireless. You can have a trigger on the handle or hang the transmitter on your hip

It's Aunti-Servo, only with a different mechanical arrangement and actually available commercially!

Dennis, have you used one?  When I was considering measuring elevator position in a stunter for recording flights, I did not use a slide pot because of the amount of friction in the ones that I've used -- with heavy emphasis on the ones I've used.  That's why I gut servos and put in my own electronics -- the friction is minimal.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.
