Landing Gear Extension for Warthog Throttle

thingiverse

This is an extension for the Thrustmaster Warthog throttle unit. It transfers movement of the ENG L/NORM/OVERRIDE toggle switch which is usually inaccessible when throttles are forward, making it usable as a landing gear lever switch. Video of use: https://streamable.com/7xwqm I assembled this using 5 x screws measuring 6-32 x 3/4" with nuts. However, all holes are sized at 3.6mm in diameter, so M3 screws would work equally well or you could print some rods to fit. The left and right sides of the frame attach to the Warthog base using existing screws on the top plate. All STLs have a flat side for printing, requiring no supports. **For assembly:** Design is intended for all screw heads to be on the right-hand side. - Screw together bell crank (90 degree, light grey) link to RH Frame as seen in sketch - Screw toggle switch slider (black) to bell crank - Screw landing gear lever without wheel to RH frame - Insert dogbone link (red) into gap in landing gear lever without wheel, then screw together - Screw other end of dogbone link to bell crank (light grey) - Attach LH and RH frames to warthog base using existing Warthog screws on top plate - Snap on cover plate over LH and RH frames - Attach wheel to landing gear lever I've also attached the Fusion360 file (.f3d) if you'd like to edit it.
