Hi Gang,



I just ordered the Rudder starter kit to see if I'm fit to build a  

601Xl (preferably on amphibian floats).

I've been studying tons of web resources and admired many projects.

One thing strikes me as odd though and maybe your collective wisdom  

can shed some light on this:



I see double throttles on many panels. Why is this done? Would one  

central throttle with the dual stick option not be sufficient?



Thanks,



Hans

Yes if you have the dual sticks a single throttle will be fine. The reason you see the dual throttles are needed to fly from either side of the center stick version which is standard.



Also, a lot of folks with dual sticks want to be able to fly with the right hand on the stick and the left on the throttle.



BTW... Welcome to the Zenith family.

The main problem with that is, the hand in the center will also be on the control stick, so it's either dual sticks and one throttle or one stick and dual throttles. Personally, I'd rather have the dual  sticks and the throttle in the center. More ergonamic in a lot of respects.
