Harrier Throttle Nozzle Quadrant

[engines]

Hey, version two design got underway but then was put on hold due to work and personal commitments.  I'm hoping to get back into it very soon.

Engines,

 

Looks awesome! Are you willing to share your files? I just posted the F18 landing gear lever on thingiverse. Slight mod and it will work great for the Harrier build. I’ll post that once I get the mod done.

Also, what axis did you use for the cursor slew?

Hi, Engines, awesome job! Can you share your AV8B throttle build list , STL files? I would pay , if needed. Thank you, very interested!

This is awesome! I haven't flown the Harrier in probably years now (I think the last time I flew it was pre-JDAM addition...) but I've always wanted to figure out a way to make a Harrier grip for my Winwing throttle.

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the long silence, I've been busy and working through a couple of iterations of the design.  I have been using the original version for about 2-3 years now and I have got enough use out of it to understand how I want to improve it.

I am building a batch of ten units now, they may take a little while, but I'm targeting the summer for completion.  The first three of those ten will be sold at cost on a first-come, first-served basis, then the remaining 7 will be a pre-production discount.  If there's enough interest after that, I'll do a larger production run, but for now I expect it'll only be these 10.  The initial three are notionally assigned subject to taking payment.

If anyone is interested in getting on the list, please DM me.

You're timing couldn't be better .

I mean, I could have finished it a year ago if I pulled my finger out.  But I suspect you're referring to something else?

 

Edit: Oh... making hardware for a module that may no longer be supported...  Yeah, great timing.

I've sent you a DM.

The first 10 units have been provisionally allocated.  I've started a reserve list in case anyone drops out.  Join the discord group if you want to sign up: https://discord.gg/GKZAWQRnPK (this link is good for 50 people).

All the sheet metal arrived for the quadrant assemblies.



Dimensional accuracy less than 0.5mm, which is within tolerance.

I'm opening up the first production run from 10 to 30. Please join the discord if you're interested in getting hold of one of the last couple of unallocated units.

I am going to dump a few photos here of the recent work which includes development and testing of the throttle control module, angular position sensor calibration checks, and test prints of the grip. Note the final grip will be made from a single billet of machined 6061-T6 aluminum.

[Rick50]

Wow, impressive results!!!

[engines]

Parts are in for the thirty throttle assemblies for those who put their deposits down!

hi @engines very impressive stuff. looks awesome and high quality, really. i am trying to mod my winwing orion base for the harrier, as my simpit setup doesnt allow an easy integration of such a deep base. otherwise i would have ordered it already : )
not having to design the throttle grip would save me a lot of time. would you consider sharing the 3d file, or can i purchase it from you?
thanks

Hey I’m interested in one ?  Where can I can get one?

Cheers

May I ask what the LxW footprint is?

[syko47]

I would love one of these - please let us know when you will be building more!
