Ace used to make a servo controlled needle valve very cheap (low priced) that was just a needle valve which went into the hole in the backplate of the ___ Bees. It would be similar to the Surestart choke/throttle meaning no mixture control. The reedies will fall out of the air at around 6,000 rpm, so a low idle is not important like on a larger motor with a more efficient prop. I have many reedies, and do not prefer them when a TD or Norvel is available. They have their place I suppose. By the time a throttle is purchased, and a motor, you could buy an AP .09, Norvel, TT .07, or ahem electric(no I didn't day that) Having said that, I do have about a dozen reedies looking for a plane to use them up on. My last RC one broke on a road trip back from the swap meet. (it didn't sell) This pic is all that remains;-(
