Hi all,

 I’m working on a simpit and would like to use a winwing base unit for the base of an f-16 throttle quadrant. 
 

i was thinking of the following:

For me the easiest/cheapest solution would be using a WW Gemini base unit, and mount a scale f-16 arm together with the winwing f-16 throttle grip. My question regarding the Gemini base unit, is if it can relay all the grip mounted controls via the Gemini base unit. If not possible I could use an f-16 throttle quadrant from WW.
 

the next hurdle would be setting the idle/cutoff point and the afterburner point. Using a WW base with a longer arm, means the arc angle of the throttle will be smaller. It is possible that I will miss the cutoff point and afterburner point. 
The afterburner point can be calibrated. However I think the cutoff point is a sensor/switch, and I doubt I can move that in a different position. I also don’t know if the Gemini even has a cutoff sensor (I think it is intended for collectives). 
soo I’m curious as to what I could do to resolve the cutoff issue.

Gemini base is a lot smaller than the Orion2 base. The arm won't fit.
