Right now I have it connected to sliders, but I need to change it over to right side since I ditch the yoke and go for a stick.

I am going to make a throttle box on my left side attached to a old chair and add a collective stick. and in that regard I thought I switch to hall sensors. I am not familiar with these things and seek people that have been where I am at, so I do not have to re invent gun powder
Thanks in advance

Hi LuseKofte,

I think something like Sokol1's Cougar fix : RC linkages to Hall sensors

is probably your best bet. You'll be able to recycle most of your present set-up with the obvious change from linear motion to rotational motion at the sensor end.

Hello, what facebook group is that please? I'd like to read along and perhaps add some pictures of my own once in a while.

Thank you kindly!

Troll I be very happy if we meet up for a coffee and a talk. I PM you my phone number . I was about to order some hall sensors just to see how they worked

Get these Bit-Technologies 612x series, they are ready to use and affordable.

Pay attention in axis OD diameter, 1/8"will be more practical, and electrical travel - for "joystick" purpose better is 35 - 60 degrees.

LuseKofte, that is an awesome throttle quadrant you've got going there. Do you know what it came off of? I wish I knew more about Hall Sensors, but I don't I hope that Troll can help you out. How is the bomber control panel working!? I hope it's still doing well for you.
Take it easy!

It is from a UC-78/T-50 Bamboo Bomber, AT-17 Bobcat, Crane. 1942



I bought it several years ago from here http://coralbay.cc/wwii_aircraft_throttles.htm
Compared to the astronomical prices on eBay they sell these relatively cheap, I bought mine for about 250 $ and it was the only multiengine type they had. But they got way cooler throttles
, and made a good temporary solution with sliders. But I want to rebuild the entire setup and use a
Westland Whirlwind stick, and move my throttle to left side in a stand, together with a selfmade collective. I think my time as a permanent bomber pilot in COD and BOS are over. Nice to see you again Apache, still loving your panels

Thanks for the link Sokol, I appreciate your input in several forums you are a true asset and I have read all post everywhere , and learned something new every time.
I think I can use that rotary hall sensor in my collective build, but it is in my mind hard to get connected with 8 levelers in such a tight assembly .
I wondered if a hall sensor could be set on the end of a slide or something, and a magnet on the moving end. Would it register the magnet coming loser and further away? and if it does how far away from the sensor would it register?
I do not at the moment see how I can connect a rotary sensor to every level on the throttle. I might be blind
