Giles ,Roger and the rest, thanks for your input! I don't have another throttle stop other then the ones on the Bing carb so I will try to remedy that. The weaker springs(throttle return springs from an auto parts store) I installed seem to help the throttle action alot. They will still move the throttles to full power with cable breakage but are not as strong as the original equipment springs.I do have the flexable cable throttle.

   I have not been using flap much on landing because the flap lever is on the floor which is a long reach for my short arms it also takes a huge amount of back pressure on the stick on final in a Kitfox (I don't have a trim system) But I will use more flaps rather than the "slip and plop" system to get it down. I am gradually getting use to "dialing in" 2000 rpm on the Vernier throttle and leaving it there for landing.It is weird though.

   My prior aircraft was a beautiful Piper Pacer which flew a bit differently. I sold it because I was tired of the FAA hassling me every year on my medical.

    I sure am having fun with the Kitfox though !
