Yeah that looks good but could be a bit costly as I like to try and make parts myself
Thanks

Hello Dave,

I am also trying to make my own yoke from a CH yoke. Can you give me more information about how you connected and how you placed the two potmeters in the new yoke column?
you can mail me directly if you like
thanks

Hi Dave.

Like the build very much. Can you tell me if the trim wheels work? I am trying to fathom out how fast spinning wheels can interface with FS to alter the trim - or are they for show only?

Thanks.

Hi Dave,

Great job! Looks good. Would be great to see a tutorial on how you built your yoke, the parts you used , dimensions and where to get them.

All the best,

Ed

hi, im doing lots of research and hoping to start mine soon. I was wondering if I could get some advice too. Currently Im looking for an article of any material to explain how the trim wheels are mechanically arranged. I need like a diagram. I have ton of questions. Would be great if you could put me in the right direction. Thanks

Hi Ashraf
are you looking to have working trim wheels or have wheels on the side of the tq that don't move ?
my trim wheels don't move on my home made tq but they will in the future
i basically have a screwed cap the fits over the threaded bar at each end of the tq then glued the the wheel to the threaded cap if you want some pictures I will send them to you if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask I would be very happy to help - if you loo up 1davemuir on you tube you can see my build so far in my garden shed
