  How many would be interested in a low cost Teflon slide throttle kit?
  The side plates can be NC punched out relatively cheaply much like an RV
  airplane is pre punched. You can make the Teflon part on a drill press and
  hole saw.

  Definitely count me in for one of those. Will it all fit in a $5 box? ;-)

  Don't know what it will cost as it won't fit a flat rate box.
  I'll need to weigh it. My guess is metal part will be less than
  2 pounds. It is also about 15 inches long.

 Count me in for one too, Paul.

I'll take one for a 3-rotor.  ;-)

I knew you were going to say that Mark :)
Sorry Charlie not enough volume. NC machines
require volume to pay off. The shop owner would laugh
at me if I asked for ten 3-rotor sets.

They are not that hard to make by hand. Find a small shop
that can shear 1/8th thick sheet aluminum material. Then use
a good quality 2 inch hole saw on a drill press. A band saw can cut
the slots. The hardest part is the 3/8th thick spacer but
that can be made from 1/2" by 3/8" bar stock with the corners
tig welded. Grind smooth after welding. We will sell the
throttle cable bracket as that is the same NC mill part.

I did away with all flanges. Just skip tig weld a 1.5 inch
long 2 inch OD .065 wall 6061 tubes to the inner side plate and
connect them  up to the 2 inch SS p-port tubes with silicon hose
and hose clamps.
