Boeing 737 throttle quadrant for DIY Simulator (NOT 1:1 with real)

thingiverse

This is a DIY Boeing 737 simulator TQ setup, but it's not entirely accurate and its mechanisms aren't functioning perfectly. I built this a long time ago and thought sharing it could be helpful, maybe some of you will find something useful here. When I have the time, I'll complete these throttle quadrant parts to give them more realism. The throttles are slightly larger than the real ones. Despite the flaws in its mechanisms, the TQ still works just fine. For reference on creating wooden plates for your setup, check out a picture called "dimensions" - you can find all the information you need there, I'm afraid I've lost track of where it's from. A more detailed guide is coming later; right now I'll say this project mainly requires potentiometers, switches, and a BU0836X card from Leo Bodnar to make everything work together. As things stand, my current focus is the overhead panel (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:491567). This project's central hub can be found at http://martin737.nitramite.com/.
