I finally get a beautiful day. Mild temps, very little wind (for this time of year in Cheyenne, this is a miracle), so I get the beast out thinking I'm going to get some serious run time. After just replacing the broken aluminum throttle arm on my Fantom with a steel one, I figured if I had problems today, it's not gonna be throttle problems. WRONG! On my second run
down the strip, the throttle all of a sudden wouldn't come off idle. When I looked at the throttle linkage, I noticed the little clip that holds the throttle pivot in the servo arm had popped off, allowing the pivot to come off the servo arm. How's that for luck. I'm completely laid up again by a tiny little missing clip smaller in diameter than a pencil eraser. I'm not messing with these stupid clips anymore. I ordered a linkage kit from Tower that comes with the brass collars and set screws. Those won't come off!
