Are the miltary versions actually As350BB ( in lieu of BA ) because there were so many mods ? . Twist grip throttle is an approved mod for B through B2 models ( albeit expensive) I think the NZ military models have it installed as well.If any one is looking for a kit I can point you to one.

What?!
I'm sorry. I really promised myself that I wasn't going to even read this board again, much less post on it. Seriously. I have nothing to add to this place, and you lot have nothing to say that I ever want to hear. But then I opened this dumb thread and being as anal (OCD? Glutton for punishment?) as I am, I can't let this one go. I've ridden motorcycles all my life, from even before I began flying helicopters (recips). Never did I confuse the throttle directions because of it. And mind you, my left hand gets confused all the time, especially when it has to tune a radio. So I have to ask jayteeto:
1. Was your motorbike an antique or some other strange machine that it had the throttle on the left handlebar?
2. Were you perhaps starting the 350 from the left seat, manipulating the throttle with your right hand?
If neither of those two were the case, then the real reason you torched that engine was simply because you're a dumbass. Admit it. Live with it. Move on. And now, having said that, so will I.
A few years ago, I was joining CFS Helicopters at Shawbury and was doing my conversion to Squirrel. I cooked an engine on start as I turned the throttle the same way as my motorbike.
