saunder Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 I am changing my setup so have decided to build something different I have very high quality free standing it can fit to a desk) throttle console more suitable to piston engine era. It is all mounted on heavy duty bearings and more than robust made with all high quality parts. the throttle is smooth and the tension can be adjusted. The airbrake is spring loaded and locks off at both ends the flap switch and gear switch are actual aircraft parts. Plenty of pictures and more information available. Open to realistic offers.

Viersbovsky Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Nice! Can we get some details on the build? Would also love some more pictures. Callsign "Lion"
saunder Posted December 29, 2015 Author Posted December 29, 2015 The covers are mdf coated in slate grey semi-matt paint the rotary mechanisms are mounted on aluminium supports the throttle has a 10mm shaft mounted on 10mm bearings and the tension mechanism is a very hard rubber mount greased it works well and will never wear out. The pitch and mixture are mounted on 6mm shafts and bearings the potentiometers are high quality the whole thing was built for a robust and reliable device. The buttons are professional grade. The landing gear buttons are from what I believe was a RAF Hunter and the flap switch off a RAF Canberra both switches were new. The airbrake is spring loaded it locks at each end point and both ends are switched it also drives a potentiometer so giving rotary action. There is also Mic and Headphone sockets that can be plugged to the sound card. The floor stand is removable and there is a facility to attach it to a desk. It was built to last and should never need any maintenance it is built totally over specification the rotary devices are smooth. There is room on the controller board for modification so additional features could be added if required. Works perfectly with windows 10 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i9-9900K - Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master Motherboard - Nvidia RTX 3090 - 64gb Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200MHz - Win 10 64bit - Reverb G2
saunder Posted December 29, 2015 Author Posted December 29, 2015 Forgot to say that it is easy access to all parts including the throttle mechanism the throttle handle can easily be removed I have made it modular so the cables unplug.
