From: "billmileski" This is a good topic on which to read the many thoughts by Bob Nuckolls (sp?). I don't always agree with him, but in this case, good quality crimp splices and a proper double-crimping tool will make a nice connection with one of the die, and grab the insulation with the other die, creating a strain relief. A good choice are "window" splices, which are transparent, allowing you to see that wire has been inserted fully.

That would take a little friction out of the system, and be smoother. I'm still waiting to hear from USJab, but I may use your idea anyway. That would solve my problem. Thanks, Ron Time: 09:16:53 AM PST US Subject: Zenith-List: Re: Jab dual throttle From: "lgingell" I was unimpressed with the dual throttle that I received. I changed quite a few of the parts, and it works great now. See my log entry around 8/17/2005 at http://lancegingell.com/planebuild/constructionlog.asp to see what I did.
