Throttle Quads

[Guest rvroman]

After several attempts at building a throttle quad and not getting the precision I want (although it does work) I have decided to buy one.In searching the forums for the Elite quads I found nothing on the topic since 2003/early 2004, so I assume no one is following those threads anymore.I am looking at the Elite MEL Quad and the Elite KA Quad. I am all but sold on the KA, and having viewed thier forums and speaking with their administration it looks like all is good using this with FS2004, thier driver, and a registered version of FSUIPC.Does anyone have any experience with Elite Quads they would like to share, or things I should know before I drop $300 on it?Thanks for all information,Robert

I just ordered a CH Products Quadrant and was wondering how to locate on my desk....the desk has been modified to have averticle opening on the right side so could build a shelf which could pull out and then attach the Throttle........anyone have a suggestion as to how high (or low) to locate this to have convenient knob access......don't have the unit yet so do not have any dimensions to work with.......appreciate the responce

Hi Robert:Another thing for you to consider....I just bought a CH throttle quadrant and then built my Kingair housing around it. I fit the CH throttle quadrant inside and it is hidden. I extended the 6 levers using aluminum bar extensions. It works great !I'll be happy to send phots is fou need ?thanks...JB
