January 3, 200422 yr Simavionics have authorised me to provide a preview of their upcoming 757/767 Replica Throttle Quadrant. http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/56045.jpgThis is a heavy duty unit that features a full die cast metal casing, base, levers and handles.The electronics are supplied by Betainnovations, a company run by Leo LaClava. Leo is one of the premier developers of USB electronic components for FlightSim hardware.For durability MIL SPEC Potentiometers are used throughout.For me the best part about this product is the price. $349 US + Shipping. This is cheaper than the Go-Flight Unit.Simavionics plan to be launching their website over the next few days. I will be one of the 1st in the queue to order what looks a real well manufactured product.When the site launches I will post a link.
