Cessna Skyhawk C172 Throttle and Mixture Friction Locks

thingiverse

Friction locks for engine controls are a DIY flight simulator accessory, not suitable for actual aircraft use. They lack some mechanical aspects and aviation certifications required for real-world planes. These friction locks do not actually add resistance; they're just designed for visual appeal. The throttle and mixture levers can be adjusted to different heights. For an 8 mm shaft, you'll need to drill out the hole to fit it properly. Measurements are based on pixel measurements from technical drawings, which might not be entirely accurate but should suffice for most aviation enthusiasts. If you're extremely meticulous about accuracy, these friction locks may not meet your expectations. You can find more details about this project at my Flight Sim Project webpage. These friction locks are designed to work with the following accessories: Cessna 172 Skyhawk Throttle Knob and Cessna 172 Skyhawk Mixture Knob.
