Hi,
how does the throttle / mixture work ?
Are they functional? How do you fix this ?
Best regards ,
Werner

Hi, how does the throttle / mixture work ? Are they functional? How do you fix this ? Best regards , Werner Yes they are funtional. I have used yoke's throttle and mixture inputs by removing the rotary pots and connecting linear ones. I will make a drawing and some pictures as soon as I can. Regards AlbEagle |

could you send me info about the yoke and gas system? possibly also photos. I would like to build these myself. Thank you

For throttle and mixture I have used linear potentiometers which I have connected to CH Flight Yoke's throttle and mixture pots. Here are some pictures (I haven't flown for a while and there is dust as you can see) werner007 sorry for not posting these pictures earlier, I didn't have time. The linear pots are glued to the plate. If you don't want to build a mechanism than you can just use double sided tape, ca glue or hot glue gun. I bought a 3D Printer (Anet A8) and I'm going to print the Throttle and Mixture knob.    Regards AlbEagle |

Perfect. Can you tell me the type of sliding potentiometers and send the .stl files for the buttons? Thank you for your support. is really great of you.

I bought the sliding pots locally, any 50k pot is ok, the longer the pot the better it is to simulate the real aircraft throttle travel. I will put the links for the Throttle and Mixture knob below: Mixture KnobThrottle KnobRegards AlbEagle |

The potentiometers did you do that over Arduino or the Saitek?

Could you send me a link which cups you used for the instruments? Could not find a mug with matching bead. Thank you

You can 3D print them, here are the stl files. These are not my files, so I don't know the dimensions, but you can scale them before printing to meet your needs.

Hello. I will send some new stuff for the weekend which I have already done to the simulator project. On Friday I will visit an original Cessna 172 Skyhawk 2 and take a few measurements. I am sure that you will need your help even longer. Thank you very much for your support.

Do you already have a plan for the switch for the flaps?

cool. I also want to build this and have already printed the parts. Do you have a sketch of the metal part and which potentiometer? What is the setting in Mobiflight? Thank you
P.S.: How can I insert photos into posts?
