Have a radio shack push once for on, push again for off rigged into the old ICS portion of the throttle for a little "HOTAS". Included a relay mounted behind seat to cushion it all electrically and have a green light u nder the glare shield when activated to give me a visual cue. I like the se t up but lots of ways to skin a cat. Thanks to electrical wizard Chris Dill ey for his design. See pics below.
