I've decided to make my own...

I started out with an old base of a ProThrottle, and married it to an Suncom SFS



Added the throttle handles from the Suncom SFS...





Mounting POTS to the Throttle Handles...





It's a WIP, but I'm well on my way...

beercheers

Things around here, for lack of a better word have been CRAZY! Busier than a cat coverin' poop in a sand storm! Today I had a chance to work a li'l more on it...

Let's locate the POTs...







Then, let's add a li'l quadrant -hump- I'll call it...



The handles...





Now, let's figure out this wireing stuff...

But alas, I have not had the time to sit down with it and finish it up. Saturday is my one day off and I use that to catch up on honey dos.

Ah. Sorry to hear that Ghost frown

I'm in the process of acquiring suncom gear myself, and probably using the leo board to USBerize it.

The pics are still plenty helpfull though.

I saw you pictures in my post, your work is very impressive. I bough a second hand fighter stick + pro throttle set ( mac adb port) to cannibalize, but I'm building the throttle base from scratch to have the same switch count as the TM one.
