I found the roll response considerably better with the shorter wings, and it didn't float as much on landing flare. I liked it just fine. I'm in Osceola, too--Osceola, Iowa.

From: "cschmokel" Hey guys, I contacted Kitfox for a dual vernier throttle to hook up to my Rotax 912ULS. The friction lock is driving me nuts .. They said their supplier recently discontinued manufacturing the dual vernier thanks to some NTSB notice. So .. does anybody know where to get a dual vernier or how to make one?? Thanks!
