Default Aerotech P51, Husky Challenger gas engine and missing throttle arm

Had a question I needed answered and thought someone who already owned this plane/engine combination could help...

I sold a gentlemen my Husky Challenger 2.7 with pipe for an Aerotech P51 he was building.....he had a Moki 1.8 in it but it wasn't enough power..

Well the buyer gets the engine and calls me to let know there's NO THROTTLE ARM on the engine!

To say I was stunned would be an understatement, as the cost of the engine should really warrant it being complete.

Anyway we're both scratching our heads on how to get the throttle arm setup on the engine but wondered if Aerotech might not make some mods to the engine, or add-ons, that would take care of this problem.

We tried calling Aerotech but they're out until next week...

If anyone has this plane/engine combination and can shed some light (especially pics) on how the "missing" throttle arm is taken care of we'd sure appreciate hearing from you....
