737 Throttle Quad Knobs
Hi.
I'm building a 737NG throttle quad ( on a tight budget ) and it's slowly taking shape.
Does anybody have any dimensions for the various knobs please.
I know you can buy a full set and I probably will at a later date. But for now, I could do to make my own just to get the throttle up and running.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Paul.

Re: 737 Throttle Quad Knobs
Here's an ultra cheap solution for now.
Cut one of these handles in half and you will have 2 wooden knobs then paint white / grey !!!!!

Hope this helps!
