so I was pondering the idea of the Jump Ports and realized how badass an idea they are...
a very simple throttle can be made using 3 components; a 9v battery, a 10K linear pot, and a DPDT switch in a small enclosure. this is perfect for running a local or a yard job with dedicated power. i'm going to build up 2 of these this weekend and see how they work. if all goes well, it makes for a very affordable no frills hand held throttle - perfect for a 7 year old and Ed K.
