Status: offline 		Finally, after a few months the Seagull Ultimate 90 is about to hit the bench. My new DLA 32 showed up today and after giving her a quick once over I moved the throttle and man oh man is that sucker hard to move!
It has ultra smooth action so I am quite sure it is not binding. It is just some intense spring pressure.

Do you guys alter that return spring or just put a super stout servo on it for the throttle?

Thanks!

Maybe a longer throttle lever would be in order for a better leverage ratio?

I have seen photos with what looks like glass arms on the throttle & choke. Are these fabricated, or can they be purchased?
