[F500] Mikuni round slide throttle stick warning

[John Engstrom]

Well that explains what happened then - 9 seconds of acceleration
was more than the poor needle could handle.  The sustained Gs were
so high that the strain finally bent the needle out of the jet. ;-)

I really wish I would have been there now - making the Ft. Worth
Tour look tight...wow!
