Project 777, Finland

[makoy]

Hi Marco.

Glad I could be of assistance.

I don't have an exact measurement but I expect it is about 46mm. This is based upon a photographs of a 767 panel found here

http://www.simpit.de/b767dim/index.html

(specifically this one http://www.simpit.de/b767dim/pedestal/pedestal002.JPG and this one http://www.simpit.de/b767dim/pedestal/pedestal003.JPG)

and the fact that the panel should be the same on the 777.

Hope that is useful to you.

Tom.

Thanks again Tom, very quik answer
I dont have that knob yet, so knowing that size now, i can drill hole in right place of panel. I will send pics how i made it when its ready .

Kalimera Lambis and thanks

Yes, i have looking Nihads knobs and dream about those, but i think out of my budget
But i have think also if i get just that rudder knob, lets see.
I think only Nihads knobs are backlighted, am i right?
Anyway those are super quality.

Geia sou Marco

Yes Nihad`s knobs are the only that are backlighted and best quality.

Also about for the rudder i use the follow rotary from MOUSER :

690-E3G0603N-2 (but it cost 42,93 Euro)

if someone has better and especialy cheaper solution please to tell us.

Lambis,

the rotary you use, does it have 2 detents to each side, and springloaded to the center, because there are 2 speeds (low/high) to set the rudder trim.
(first detent slow, second detent fast)

cheaper?
maybe if you build it yourself and not count the hours you're building one......

[Lambis777]

Henk my rotary has only one detent in each side.
And it is springloaded to center.

I can`t find with 2 positions in each side.
