Friction in the Europa camp !

Those of us diehards who go on mouthing by rote checks which no longer 
apply, will come across throttle friction. Europa have provided a 
perfectly good friction mechanism in the tunnel mounted lever, but have 
failed to provide the 6" tall co-pilot gnome to live in the tunnel and 
adjust the nut. All it not lost however. All you need is a tube a few 
inches long with the nut crimped,soldered/welded into its end. This, 
arrange to protrude through the tunnel wall and provided with a knob, 
will do the business. If it is to exit on the pilot side, you will have 
to mirror the apertures in the gate moulding compared with the drawing. 
It is probably more convenient to have it on the passenger side, but 
check first that it will not interfere with the flap operating rod.
