I believe CubPilot has a throttle mod now as well.

Subject: RE: [simpits-tech] Throttle Arm base dimensions
Doing well. There's a guy over at Cougar world that did all the
research and found the right ones to use for the Cougar. He sells them with
a kit that has all the instructions and he has even mad the mounting
brackets to mount the sensors to the Cougar. The installation was simple
and fast. The sensors work MUCH better than the pots, no spiking at all and
flying is smoother than ever. I only wish he had a mod for the throttle,
but you could use one of his HS for the throttle handle as you guys are
describing. It would splice right into the existing wiring and you may or
may not need to reverse the axis, but if you did, it takes all of 5 minutes
to do and save and then you won't have to do it again unless you upgrade the
firmware and/or software. He charges about $129 for the kit, but I think he
sells the HS for $50 each. I was going to get another from him whenever I
get to the throttle mounting point. I have two Cougars, one I plan on
leaving for desktop play for anyone that comes to my house, the other I plan
on using with Marv's LVDT stick package when it is done.
The guys name is Cub pilot and here is the info he sends out:
The Cougar+ HS Mod Kit is a high-end mod, using top quality Hall Effect
Angle Sensors. The sensors utilize a temperature stabilized Hall Effect
Sensing IC, specifically designed for feedback position sensing applications
in a wide temperature range. If you want more info on Hall Effect Sensors go
to my web page at CubPilot's Hangar .
Hall Sensors are more expensive than resistive pots. That's why TM
didn't use them in the Cougar. However, Hall Sensors will put an end to the
spiking problems of the resistive pots that all Cougars will eventually
suffer from, some already have this problem. If you are a discriminating
Cougar owner and have, or are getting your Cougar "Uberized" by Ian, this
would be the crowning touch to your modded "Kitty".
