Pots and most of the switches interfaced.
The potentiometer mechanism I constructed works like a charm. I get nearly full travel on the throttle pots.

Got the radios up and running the other night, as well powering up the TQ light plates.
Still need to back light the radio panels. Progress is slow at the moment due to house projects.

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
Tor, you are progressing really well!
If you have some time to spare, could you explain to me how exactly the reversers are interfaced with your system? I have seen a 707 TQ and the reverser is connected to the same "pulley-type wheel" as the throttle connected to which is connected to some gears and then a pot, however I was not able to see how the reverser and normal lever can move independantly of each other.
its rather difficult to explain, but I hope you understand what i mean!

Hi. I know exactly what you mean, and the explanation is very simple. They don't move independantly. A portion of the pot travel is asigned for reversers in FSUIPC.

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
but how do you build that into the throttle lever?, the main lever moves the "pulley wheel" which is connected by some means to the pot, but when you use the reverser handle, the same wheel moves the same pot... how are the levers made so that both levers can control the same pulley wheel?

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
There's a linkage arm connected to the reverser lever which runs down inside the throttle lever. In the other end the linkage arm is connected to the pulley wheel out of centre. When the throttle is at idle and you pull the reverser up, the linkage arm pulls the pulley wheel with it beyond the idle position. I hope that was readable!

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
Hi all.
Just checking in to let you know I haven't perished or anything. Progress is still slow due to other commitments, but hey that's life I guess. Come August/September and that will all change! I have been able to do a few flights recently with a very limited set up to get some experience with my TQ and the radio stack. Everything works, but I do have some trouble calibrating the flap lever. It works fine the first few detents, but then when I hit flap 25 nothing happens, When I go to flap 30 I get 25 and so on. If anyone has some insight please let me know. Also; picked this up a the post office today :P
Does anyone know the correct voltage for the Korrys?

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
Dude, I need to find out the location of your sim. And pay it a "visit". Does anybody have a conversion kit for a 727 TQ to a NG style?
Cool stuff!

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
Don't think I dare tell you now! I may find my TQ is missing one of these days!
I'm way south of you though dude!
Cheers!
