Hi Dave,
Thanks for the feedback on the Slick Start.
I was browsing around your web site, www.aircraftersllc.com and found an RV-8 project you guys are working on:

What caught my eye is specifically this picture:

You guys did a really nice job getting rear throttle quad mounting. I notice, though, that you've got a 2-way instead of the 3-way which I'm sure is due to the limited space right there. I've been in a quandary on what to do there as well as I would really like to have all three.
But here's my question. Since there's only room for two controls on the rear quad, wouldn't it be better to have Throttle and *Prop* instead of Mixture? I'm guessing maybe you picked that because that's the only other quad configuration option Van's has, but I thought I'd ask.
I wonder who the manufacture of those quads are? Maybe we could get a special Throttle/Prop version?

Works very well with a single retard-point mag and no impulse couplings. Be
sure to only start on the retard point, not on the single-point mag.
