[NSRCA-discussion] Happy New Year

[Stuart Chale]

I had a couple of OPS super 60's and I think it had the same throttle.  
There was a small bellcrank attached to the carb to transfer the fore 
and aft servo movement to side to side.  I still have a few of the 
spinners for the motor.  The spinner back plate replaced the drive 
washer on the engine.
