Iron mechanic (Throttle) motor control (axes)

[GVL224]

about how much would it cost to get one that would be good for flying twin engine german heavies?

i'm interested in it because well the satek i have now went kaput.

 

its why i cant fly and it makes me sad especially with the hs129 now out ;-;

Write to my e-mail gvl224@ukr.net, we will discuss.

Mechanics "Lefty"

 

Handle under the right hand.

[GVL224]

Mechanics "Crane chassis" A-10
With the backlight of the handle.
The mechanics of mine are "fixed" to two positions, and the handle is the size and style of A-10.

"Base" handles for Fw-190 and handle Fw-190 Bf-109
Installed also on my mechanics "RUD"

 

[Sokol1]

The extra support for Fw 190 propeller pitch knob - inclined up and forward - make the handle more ergonomic. 

[GVL224]

Yes, I understood, it increases the width of the handle and makes the grip more comfortable, like on the handles of my design.

[GVL224]

New mechanics "Не-111" on the basis of "spark".
The stock is enlarged long, "balls" with a diameter of 35mm.

 

[GVL224]

Throttle block "two in one".
Me109 + He111.
The size of the base is 225mm * 200mm

Excellent piece of hardware, I made myself one of a genuine throttle. Analog sliders and USB card. 8 hotas. I could not do it cheaper than this, and this is much better quality in electronics and such. I am truly impressed. We will never see similar quality for this price, not a chance. For those in the marked , BUY!!!

[LukeFF]

I received my Bf 109 throttle today from Vitaly, and I have to say it looks and works great. The rocker switch is especially comfortable and easy to use.

Very nice congrats!

[LukeFF]

Very nice congrats!

 

Thanks! I'm going to fill in the writing on the rocker switch with a white pen, so it stands out a bit more.

Yes please! What a masterpiece!

It turned out here is such a handle (Me109) on the main axis of the throttle

I received my throttle and it is a wonderful piece of hardware.  I just have to memorize all the new button locations for VR flying now..... and that is a pain in the butt.

 

Looking forward to being able to pair it up with a kg 13 replica someday.

[GVL224]

In the new building.

Material "Aluminum composite panel".

The mechanics are combined, along the edges "universal" in the center of the "spark".

The inscriptions are made with laser engraving.

[GVL224]

The control unit "Stormwind" is designed to control motorboats.
In the control unit there is 1 mechanic GVL224 "spark" installed.
Iron mechanics, axles on bearings with non-contact sensors.

Front panel:
- 2 encoders;
- 8 buttons with illumination of the moment of pressing;
- 2 keyswitches without latching in extreme positions (like 4 buttons).

The case is made of 3mm thick composite, it is assembled as a 3D puzzle.

On the video the case without legs, so he staggered and slid on the table

These are the main "components" of the finished blocks.

Cant wait to get my unit!!!  

 

THANKS!

Ме109

[Archie]

I love the 109 throttle. I can see a purchase in the new year.

[GVL224]

Simplified (cheaper) version of the "RUD 2*6"

[SJ_Butcher]

Bro I like the me109 throttle, how much? In any case can you build a fw190 throttle?

 

 

 

How much in the latest case? you send worldwide?

 

Cheers

[GVL224]

Throttle "Me109" will cost about 200-220 US dollars with the shipment depending on the customer's modifications made.

If you replace the handle "Me109" with the handle "fw190", the price will be approximately the same as before. But you need to determine exactly the appearance and dimensions of the handle.

Yes, I send it all over the world.

Niceeee, so can I give you a prototype how I will like it to be? Edited January 12, 2018 by SJ_Butcher

I'm thinking about buying a throttle quadrant, but wouldn't want it to be much wider than the Warthog throttle.

 

Can you tell how many levers you can fit next to each other in a throttle quadrant that's around 15 cm wide (or the smallest width you can make, if this is not wide enough)?

 

What's the minimum width with 4 or 5 levers with smallest knobs?

 

Thanks alot.

[GVL224]

Drawing with the dimensions of one mechanic and up to four.

That’s nice

[SCG_Fenris_Wolf]

GVL, do your Luftwaffe throttles have a "Push through barrier"? So that we get tactile feedback on when we reach above ~83% throttle, into emergency power?

No, my mechanic does not have tactile sensations in the range of motion.

[Sokol1]

This "Push through barrier" is not a "click" in throttle movement, but a mechanical stop that need be overcome for use emergency power in some WW2 era planes, in some way like modern "Afterburner/Forzah" (Форсаж).

 

A example (think from Hawker Typhoon):

 

In "Rated" (maximum normal power) position are a "steep" that need be overcome to move throttle for "Take Off" - in this case by force the throttle lever for left for overcame the "steep" -  called "gate".

 

This steep/gate is well visible in this frame in Spitfirespare site.

 

A similar system maybe became complicate to implement in domestic throttles, because require a semi-flexible lever on throttle to be pushed for left.

 

But a movable "lock", like the "Boost Cut Out" in Spitfire throttle is easy to implement:

 

Is need push this "lock" for move throttle for emergency power.

 

 

Or even more easy, a similar lock in Mig-21 throttle, that instead push just need be pressed. For overcome the "stop" 5 is need press the lever 4:

Will be a nice - maybe optional, addition for your throttle.

[SCG_Fenris_Wolf]

Thanks for the replies. The red lever looks great, but this would put too much stress on the casing, I'd fear of ripping it open when pushing it forward, or require a full redesign of upper case plus gimbal so there'd be a way to properly secure the lever. 

 

Since Virpil doesn't seem to be releasing their throttle anytime soon (I have been waiting since December), I was looking around and only now I have found these gems. I believe not enough people know about this.

Sokol1, thank you, you as always could explain everything!

If we take as a basis the principle of work for Mig-21, then it can be implemented on my mechanics without their reworking, but only by adding a couple of parts!
