Anyone elses Thrust master Airbus Quadrant arrive?

Featured Replies

Got mine over the weekend.

 

Overall impressed, thrust reversers feel fantastic and I've managed to program them quite well for PMDG/FSL and works great in Xplane too (so far tried the AFL KA350)

 

Only niggle is when advancing or retarding them, you move in the desired direction and when taking your hand off they move a tiny bit back - it's not major but if anyone has any idea how to resolve it would go from a 90% to 100% device.

A lot seem to be on backorder. I have seen indicators with some online shops that next deliveries expected at the end of this month.

James, any feedback on the stablity/weight of the quadrant on the surface you are using? I had read that there was a tendency for it to leave the surface its placed on when operating the throttles since the unit is quite light.

@aldridgem I will be honest, if I'd have been able to test it beforehand I would have saved my money - but - for it's stated purpose, it's ok for airbus. I'm still on the fence for its use for anything other than an airbus with detents..

I have had to velcro it to my mount to stop it moving around - with the tension increased it just doesn't stay put. 

It is also much smaller than you would expect, more like a toy..

On the whole it is ok, I've been using it for some A320 flights (works fine) and for flights in the King Air 350 (fine until you really want to nail a torque setting, and for that purpose it is utterly rubbish)

In all likelihood I will sell it soon and get a TQ6+ - my recommendation is not to buy unless you have been able to try one.

As I documented in my Amazon rant thread in this sub-forum, my order was suddenly unavailable on the day of dispatch and ever since then has simply had "We will email you when we have an estimated delivery date." appended to it.

The cynic in me says it was deliberately made light in order to sell more of their Flying Clamps. Of course, if you want your stick and quadrant at the same level, you're probably going to want 2 of them. ££££££££

Has anyone got any experience with this and the Honeycomb Bravo? What’s your thoughts on them?

Trying to decide on which one to buy (when stock has come available that is).

I sadly can't help - both still on order with no prospect of getting them any time soon. I'll believe Amazon's 23rd of December date when I see it, but maybe they mean 23rd December 2021.🙄
