Hi guys,

I have searched on many months on building a homemade throttle for my 777 but to no avail. Since I am here, I should as well post my enquireies. I currently have a few options:
1.I have emailed MOTO TECH cockpits from japan a few times but they have yet to reply me on a product I am interested in. http://web1.kcn.jp/soujukan_koubou/ (it looks like its in code, so i used a cached picture from google to translate)
2.build 1 manually from a CH throttle quadrant as i had seen some people do it.
3. using a saitek quadrant instead of a CH one.

My ideal one would be the one from MOTO tech or if a guy here would be able to help me make a cheap one simillar to the one at MOTO TECH cockpit.

Cheers,
Austin

Hi Austin,

I believe that Gwyn (Westozy) has already made one of these, worth giving him a shout. Although I understand he's not taking orders at the moment, busy building his own sim, bit still drop him a line he miight be able to help.

Cheers
Joe

Hi,
Thanks for replying. I have been eyeing on Gwyn's one for quite sometime but I was caught off by the price since im only a student. My plan currently would to get a saitek or CH quadrant and get the parts from FDS. only if someone had the experience in this. I would also like to know if Gwyn would be able to make the 2T/B-F throttle quadrant on MOTO TECH cockpits website as it is multi purpose which includes a landing gear knob and a autobrake arm switch.

Cheers,
Austin
