Hi Guys Anyone know where i can get the above knobs.I am wanting to make my C177 as real looking as i can.Have most of the switch panel looking like the original.ThanksLes

Les,Have you checked Wicks Aircraft and Aircraft Spruce and Speciality? I don't that they have the exact Cessna knobs, but they have had some that look very close.Mikewww.mikesflightdeck.com

Hi Mike,Thanks for the quick Response.Knew about Spruce but not the other other two.Looked through their ctaalogue,but they dont do them,not that i could find them. So i will go and look for wicks ect.Thanks again.RgdsLes

Les,Spruce has a good selection of throttle controls listed in the print catalog. They are the whole assembly, knob, shaft and control cable. More expensive than just the knob ($40~60) but perhaps worth it for the realism.I could not find any worthwhile info about them on their site. It might be necessary to get a copy of the print catalog and look at the pictures to determine if the product is what you want. They are listed in the airframe parts section under the "throttles - controls" section.The controls are made by ACS Products. The ACS site isn't much more helpful than the Spruce site. It has only one of the throttle products illustrated ( http://www.acs-products.com/p_c_a790.htm ). Spruce has three or four pages of control products.Mikewww.mikesflightdeck.com

Mike,Thanks,yes i found them on Wicks aicraft,they had a basic picture.Your imfo was most helepful,now i know what the silver thing is in the middle of the knob.A button to enable disable fine adjustment.All i have got to do now is convince myself that the cost is justified.I paid $50 for the real ignition switch,so whats another 150 eh.Les

Try ebay. I got a throttle for $30, a mixture control for $45. Still looking for a prop control. Whoops, I should have waited until I got the prop control before posting this :DMike
