Throttle Quadrant base dimensions.

Hi guys,

I am still a little unsure of the form and dimensions of the 737NG throttle quadrant. I have made a very basic sketch in Photoshop and would appreciate it is someone could measure up their quadrant and post the dimensions (preferably in metric :) here.

My sketch:

The dimensions I want are:
A: the distance from the cockpit floor to the top of the throttle quadrant. (excl all levers and thingies!)
B: The depth of the unit from the base to the rear
C: The depth of the unit from the 'point' to the rear
D: The height of the 'point' from the cockpit floor.
E: the height from the cockpit floor to the center of the axis of the trim wheels

Thanks in advance !!!

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

Which plane is it for?

Sorry, it's for a 737NG, I have changed my post :)

Gee ... nobody?

Hi Cap,

I am still looking around my links. I am certain I ran across some great drawings, but I can't place where. Being that I am building the A320 I didn't save the link.

Hey Cap,


Did you see the file in the download section? I am note sure if it's what you are looking for, but it appears to be a pretty darn good 737NG throttle tutorial and some decent cad files.

Hi there,

Appreciate your looking around for me, .. but I am specifically looking for the dimensions of the above structure. Most TQ plans show the TQ as a 'square' column, the real one looks vaguely like the one in my sketch.

Just checked the downloads, .. I have all those files, . - thanks anyway

Ok, I will keep looking. You find the darndest things when looking for something else. When I get a good set of throttle plans put together for my A320 I am gonna post em here with lots of pics.


Buddy

I appreciate that.

The problem is, that many people have built one, but everybody has their own cockpit and the measurements might be a cm or two off so that the TQ can fit into their cockpit. I have several drawings but all of them are conflicting.

I just noticed that the TQ from http://www.revolution-simproducts.com/ seems like it the correct size!

I will try and send them an email , ... see if they answer :)

*grumble*

Okay okay , ... iNow if only I could get into a real 737 parked at EHAM and start measuring!
