Vernier Slider Mount

thingiverse

This is a push/pull Cessna style throttle mount. All plastic and hardware will cost you about $10 per knob, saving you around $300 to $500 compared to ridiculously overpriced commercial push/pull flight sim throttles that lack the fine tuning of twist and offer lower quality with less function. The pots are, however, quite accurate. This remix adds the ability to use the throttle/mixture slider with a larger linear potentiometer as well as the Cessna 172 throttle/mixture guides by AlbEagle. Mixture Guides: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2806186 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2805734 Linear Potentiometer: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/panasonic-electronic-components/EVA-NF3R15B14/PNF100SB-ND/244381 These pots are discontinued but still available at Digikey in abundance. Other linear potentiometers that fit within a 128mm x 9mm space will work as well. These have 100mm travel which is closer to the actual Cessna throw than the original design for a 60mm throw. A stop limiter is also included so you can limit the throw however you want. The connector fits a 6mm or 1/4" shaft. I used Kerick Valve SR10 stainless rods, 1/4"x10", which are cheap and easy to get from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0077RA4TG Two slider options are included. One simply has a through hole for the rod while the other uses a threaded insert. This is because I wanted to use AlbEagle's mixture guides but also wanted the slider bracket to fit flush against the back of the panel and did not want the guide nut in the way. Basically, this is a special square guide nut that fits flush with the slider bracket when all mounted in. It's pretty slick.
