Dual Throttles: Re: REFLECTOR:Slaved Throttle Quads

[KeithHallsten]

It's not difficult to run a completely redundant throttle & cable all the
way to the arm on the servo or carburetor.  That's what the factory
recommends, and I've seen several installations that work fine, so I plan to
do the same.  You have a little more friction to move the throttle, but if
you keep all bends gentle and smooth, it's not a significant issue.  You
have to fabricate a bracket to hold both throttle cable sleeves at the
engine end.
