F16 Throttle Quadrant

thingiverse

This is the remix of JFlyer81's throttle and the actual mechanism is also modified from https://www.reddit.com/r/hotas/comments/pdg0il/f16_style_throttle_buttons_overload/ 's design I put together all the needs and wants for my F16 throttle for DCS and came up with this. this throttle includes a working throttle lift with cutoff and AB detents. i used the throttle handle from JFlyer's design without much modification and attached it to a base that suits my needs. As this is a work in progress, improvements might be made along the way.
