Bill's Progress

Post by Andy G »

I'm not into the whole race to the finish build process thing. But, for those of you that like to keep up w/ each other, watch out for Bill!!!! Stopped by his RV factory after being on vacation for 2 weeks and, wow, major leaps in progress, and, as usual, outstanding workmanship.

Seeing his project prompted a question in my mind. He has a throttle quadrant, really nice. Has anyone seen a side by side w/ a throttle on each side? How would you rig that system. I really like the throttle vs the vernier set up but, I don't like the Piper set up w/ the throttle in the middle. Any solutions?

Thanks for the kind comments Andy, but I don't want in on part of any race. I am a SLOW builder. When I finish, I finish.
