737 Throttle Qaudrant question...

I've seen that site before. That is a masterpiece of engineering.

I've seen that site before. That is a masterpiece of engineering.

...but not the masterpiece of replication. Sorry to be boring

And motorization is done not in the best way. The best way not to have a solid linkage from lever to the motor like gears, chains, etc... We need to have a friction type movement transition. Like a car clutch. This is what I plan for my TQ. Will share all drawings here as soon it will be ready.

I noticed a few things that weren't quite accurate, but overall it gives a great impression.

His internal engineering is far more complex than mine. My trim wheels are stationary. Maybe the next build will be different. Did I just say that?

No, the "next build" will be a real throttle if that ever happens.

"In regards to the Spd. brake and Flap levers....they have to be lifted out of the slots on the metal guides. Do they just moves up and down on a shaft manually or is there some kind of spring loaded device built into the levers? "


Here is one way to do it, all metal:
The rod B slides through the block A which is bolted on the lever.
B is lifted to disengage from the dented quadrant and the spring brings it back down...easy cheap.

Please take a look on the picture. The dimensions 1 to 6, but 2,3,4 are the most important.

Better quality here http://picasaweb.google.com/vitabutc...54196456413250

Btw most of the TQ's I've seen in the projects doesnt have 5 as zero.

Ok, here goes. Measurements have been taken with the sidecovers off, as in your drawing:

1: 222 mm
2: not taken measurements as im not sure if you want them taken from the center of the axle or from the side (as in your drawing.) See the picture to get an idea.
3: same as 2
4. difficult to take size as this part is not horizantal as it seems to be on your drawing. please specify where exactly you want the measurement to be taken
5: 15 mm
6: 480 mm

and here are the pictures (i made these quick quick i can make more accurate ones with a metal ruler this weekend):

measurement 1



measurement 2:



measurement 3:



measurement 4:



measurement 5.

im very happy with it too...

allthough it will be a pain to motorize it.

i'M VERY FASCINATED ABOUT IT AND CAN'T WAIT TO BUILD ONE...

THANK YOU
