I want to ride my wing not work for hours tracking down a bad connection in the hundereds of feet of wires and connectors. The newer wings are bad enough much less add more complication. Just my opinion;):waving:

I will have to agree , The best thing I have found with the electronic throttle controls. Is just more income for me , :waving:

No joke!! If you have the opportunity to work with these system  when they have a glitch they will scare you on 4 wheels not to mention two.

Cheaper to make doesn't always seem to make it cheaper for us to buy. :)  I think sometimes it must be the distribution systems that drive up the costs for us. Parts probably have to make a profit several times before they get to us.
