Default RE: GP Ultimate Bipe Setup

I'm not building this plane... but I have built a couple with 4strokes and had linkage problems... a hog bipe and the latest being a kadet sr arf for my daughter.
I bought a strip of carbon fiber material from the lhs and fabricated a tiller arm about 2-2 1/2" long and 5/15" or so wide. Drilled a mounting hole in the middle and linkage holes on each end. Mount this "tiller" using the middle hole on the outside edge / towards the nose of the motor mount. Run your throttle cable to the linkage hole at the bottom of the tiller and make a 2-56 or 4-40 linkage rod going back to the carb. If you take your time this makes a nice linkage and get you away from the cramped space of the rear mounted carb on your 4stroke. If you want to see a pic I can try to get time this weekend to take a pic of my daughter's kadet. Can't show you the hog bipe... someone else has that [:@] [8D].

Glued the stab to the fuse tonight. Made sure the stab and wing are parallell using a laser.
Tomorrow morning before work, I will glue the fin and then start the turtledeck assembly this weekend.

Those of you that have finished the Ultimate and are using a 4stroke engine, can you take a picture of the throttle linkage for me? I'm unsure as to how it should be routed.

Thanks,
