October 27, 200916 yr My Goflight TQ-6 throttle hardware just died (after many years of service). I had used it to fly the PMDG 747 and was very happy with the unit. However, before I replace it I was wondering if anyone had experience using this throttle hardware with the new PMDG J41. I haven't purchased the aircraft yet, but I'm planning an early Christmas present to myself :)I was also looking at PFCs throttles, but those are different hardware for 4 engine jet (747) and the twin turboprop (J41), so I would have to buy two units to get the same functionality that I might be abel to get from the one goflight unit. In reading the J41 tutorial, it looks like accurate positioning of the condition and power levers is really important to fly the plane correctly. Can I do this with a goflight TQ-6? Or should I pay more and get the PFC hardware.Thanks,Bill Rowe
