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.
Paul Lamar
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 :)

Paul--does this system work only with P-port engines, or can it also work
with non-P-port engines as well? Thanks.
Paul V.
Slide throttles can be made for engines with more intake runners but
this one is made for the two runners of a p-port engine.
