BIGNEWY'S Collective project 2013

...seller said it had come out of a lynx and had labels on it for Boscombe Downs ( R.A.F ).

 

Nice work!

 

Don't want to rain on your parade but I don't think that comes from a Lynx, certainly not 7s, 9s, 9As and the current naval set. It's too long, and seems to have a twist throttle which the twin (governed) Lynx Gems don't need.

 

That knuckle guard would also not be needed in the Lynx cockpit.

 

Dunno where it does come from though - a lot of strange stuff has passed through Boscombe Down...

thanks for the reply,

 

I had my doubts about the lynx reference as well, but you are right lots of strange stuff has passed through Boscombe Down :)

looking good. I always love to see real parts used.

Made some updates to my collective,

 

After use my first design had become lose, so I decided to strengthen the axis with a plumbing T joint 1.5" which also gave me a more secure fitting for the pot that controls the throttle.
