Dual throttles

I have decided to have a standard "cessna type" plunge throttle in the centre of the aircraft just ahead of the stick and another throttle lever just to the left of the pilots left leg. This arrangement will be very comfortable for the left seat guy and reasonably comfortable for whoever is flying from the right (instructor probably).

I find it difficult to fly with my left hand on the stick and right hand controlling throttle and airbrake. I find that during the flare I sometimes confuse the airbrake with the stick. If you are too low and suddenly think you are reducing airbrake but in fact shove the stick forward it tends to be an eye opener!! When flying from the right I will therefore use my right hand on the centre stick and left hand on the throttle. When needing airbrake I will have both arms crossed!! Sounds very awkward but works for me! All of this because this old dog cannot learn a new trick!

A have included a pic of the torque tube I am using to get across to the left throttle lever. It is now installed inside the seat module. I glassed the 2 vesconite bushes in place. More pics to follow.
