Throttle parts - Motorized by servos

Instead of asking questions you should read the manuals and understand what the cards do and how. Also, as advised earlier, you need to do much more research before making decisions.

Answers to your questions above can be found in Opencockpit`s documentation.

Hi

Its correct, my thought are faster than my hands

I would go for the lower rpm and lower ma.
Sorry, I have no experience of Polyclutch, though a number of other builders have used them. I made my own clutch using a lathe and milling machine - not for the faint hearted!
You cannot manually override a servo if it is still under "control" . Although you can switch off a servo under programme command with some control boards eg Opencockpitsdo and then move it by hand. If you wish to manually override the servo at any time then you will need a clutch and some good programming

Hi David,
Can you show us how you made your Diy clutch?

Hi David

I have found this: http://www.aerosimsolutions.com.au/throttle.html maybe a solution?

I can also built the throttle so I am able to upgrade it later to be motorized, a good thought

I think it´s more fun to have a really throttle, motorized or not, than none at all!

These are the main parts but are there another thing that I have missed?

I have a plan and a description in the way I shall build my throttle and maybe I motorized it along the road but not at the moment.

Hi

I have decided to wait with the throttle build since in this project is included a overheadpanel, forward and AFT but just the things like PMDG737ngx´s has

I will start with that and see about the throttle later//

Hi

I have been thinking alot and concluded that the the most reasonable is to start with the throttle part
of my project as I talk about from the start

I have change the product list to be more cheaper and with DC solutions

Product are as bellow:
DC Motor x3
http://www.servocity.com/html/20_rpm...ear_motor.html

Clamping Motor Mount 3x
http://www.servocity.com/html/clampi...or_mounts.html

Clutch 3x

DC Controller
http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/...card-p-50.html

Universal Joystick Controller
http://www.leobodnar.com/products/BU0836X/

A set of buttons and other good stuff from simparts
http://www.simparts.de/epages/154657...s/737/Throttle

HiFi Slide 10 K

Griffset Throttle 737

Pot 10K
http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/pot-10k-p-123.html

1
Are there another motor controller card but also handle digital input like the leobodnar card?

2
Is a rotary pot better than slide pot to the throttle?
The HiFi Slide pot 10 k is expensive one so if the answered is no can I choose whatever slide port I like to buy?

3
I may use a pot to the reverse handle (last product) but is that a good solution for the rev...?

Glad if you comment my product choice//
Best Fredrik
