Desktop Twin Engine Throttle for Flight Simulation

All 3D files for this design can be found on www.printables.com.

This Throttle goes along with my G1000 setup.

It's main feature is the simple design and slim layout which (unlike regular Throttle quadrants) fits on a desktop. Instead of rotary potentiometers and a clumsy gear mechanism it uses 100mm ALPS linear audio potentiometers and ergonomic handles. Further a thumbstick, an encoder and several switches, buttons and LEDs are provided for individual configuration.

The housing is prepared for an Arduino Leonardo and gives enough room for individual wiring. For mounting the thumbstick a small PCB is used.
