If you’re into the Big Radial’s P40B or vintage GA like the Cessna Bird Dog. Photos of John Stockwood’s custom painted assembly of the AuthentiKit P40 throttle. The basic throttle is a free download from authentikit.org. Paint optional.
And results of our assembly time poll. TLDR - about 1 hour.
How cool is that!
Finally a worthy throttle quadrant for the Cloudmaster! (Unfortunately one would need four of these…)
Don’t worry - dual engine quadrants are alpha testing now and 4 engine will follow in a few months
So you mean I can buy this thing?! AWESOME!
Do you plan to make a more modern looking four engine throttle quadrant too, for example for the Airbus A340 and other four engine planes?
A tip: I find it very important to have visible notches or indicators how much thrust on an engine is set.
I love to see exactly how much thrust is set in detailed numbers on the thrust lever so I can write this down and use these thrust settings for difficult and critical phases like stable approach before landing.
You assemble it from a kit in about an hour. 4 engines is not on the list just now but a twin engine for the DC3 and B247D are being worked on. If you don’t want to self-source everything, see a link for where to buy hardware for kit - make sure you scroll down and see options for the plastic parts.
