Hi!
Im searching for a high quallity Cessna style flaps switch (4 positions) and a trim wheel for mounting on a vertical cockpit panel. Does anyone know a good supplier within Europe (preferably within EU) who sells these?
The desktop aviator (here) used to be a great place for intertnational things like this but I don’t think he’s shipping international now after covid.
Apart from that I’m personally not sure about anything else you can buy, however you could get a company to 3d print these for you, or someone who owns a 3d printer…
Fidelity wise, Option 2 is better because it has no detents like the real plane but there’s also little friction so it can fall down, not a huge issue but option 1 will be less fidelity but it wont fall down – you can fix the falling but gotta get more DIY
Hope this helps.

Thanks, I have seen the Desktop Aviator, looks like a really nice flaps controller. But like you wrote, no international shipping anymore.
I actually own a 3D printer myself, and my plan B is to build those myself. Was just interested in taking a shortcut. 
I have my hands full building radio, transponder (Trig style) and autopilot (trutrak vizion style) right now.
Try simmax.it
They have many different cockpit elements specifically for Cessnas. Some are plug’n play. If you need something specific they can often accomodate you.

Ugh, simmax has beautiful components, but they ship from Indoneisa. Was hoping for a supplier within EU. Anyone?
Unfortunately they only ship from Indonesia. I really wanted (and still want) to order from them. But I’m not paying that absurd amount of money for shipping. Not even mentioning a possible tax bill when it arrives in my country.
