[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by toenailridgesl</i> <br /><br />I made my own tethered throttle, using a *** Smith 24v.10amp kit (*** Smith is the Oz version of Radio Shack, I think you can order their stuff off the net), hooked up to 25ft of 5-core trailer cable. This is powered by a 24volt 10amp transformer made from a truck battery charger. Gives me 50ft of control area and since the Ridge is only 30ft wide I can get to just about anywhere I want. The throttle cost under $20, the cable under $10. It's been operational for over 5 years without a hickup. Only nuisance is the 25ft of cable at your feet when you're standing at the main centre point. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I am interested in this project you put together. could you please send me somemore details. Like product number of *** Smiths kit. And any other detail that would be needed to do this. <br />you can email me at the following address: <br /> <br />jon@ap.net <br /> <br />Thank you for your time. <br />Jon
