Top Cap / Saito .72 Throttle Linkage
In putting the finishing touches on my Top Cap / Saito .72 combo I hit a road block at the throttle linkage. Could some of you guys running this set-up please post or email me some pics of what you are using. I have some ideas but would like to have all the input I can get before experimenting.

I posted some picks back in the summer on this and can't find the post but I will keep looking. If you take the 2 screws out of the carb it can be flipped around so the control horn is on the other side. Then you can bend a control rod so it runs along the outside of the wing and to the throttle. I will try and find the picks for you. Flip your carb around and it will make more sence.

Thanks Flip, I have the carb turned with the throttle arm on the bottom already. I guess what I'm looking the the most sanitary way of getting the linkage around the wing and up to the throttle arm. Your set-up looks clean and simple, I'll probably go with it.

You can go right thru the wing with the rod and tube they give you with the kit. Its almost a straight shot between servo and throtle so long as you placed the tank close in to the fuse.
