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.

Hi Paul

I do have a question,did someone try this device in flight?
did someone face with fuel leaks with this slide throttle kit before??/
Jean Prudhomme


Not yet but it is going to fly any minute now.

Slide throttle have been used on Mazda racing engines for 30 years.

Yes. We had slide throttle leaks on the original dyno version but we fixed
that with 1/64th (.015) thick gasket material.  Now all raw excess fuel
is captured and runs into the engine.

The engine is running fine and the slide throttle is working slick
as snot according to Mark Suspinski :)
