Major update! See the new video and Kickstarter page!

After listening to feedback from customers we are now including our Pro Jetliner series of thrust levers in the base Kickstarter package!

Our throttle system is now unique in that it is the only metal versatile throttle system that can be angle to match configurations of different aircraft. It also comes with working reverse levers and toga and AT disconnect buttons.

Of course it still comes with the standard twin propeller setup as before.

This is a significant saving over the retail price as these were scheduled to launch after the kickstarter for around £100!

Handy shortcut to Kickstarter

 

Great start - keeping eyes glued to its progress!!

This is the modular throttle I have been waiting for for a long time. Then they go on and decide to add the jetliner series thrust levers to the basic Kickstarter which I am funding. Absolutely brilliant, well done.

The throttle looks much better now. I love the airline throttle/flap/spoiler levers and the big buttons that they have. Thanks Chris for updating it!

Very glad to see this.
I'll be backing the Kickstarter immediately after typing this post.

A couple of things I'd really like to see to take it from an excellent product to a flawless one are:

1. Rubber sleeves / inserts in the lever track*. I have other throttles and a lot of dust ends up collecting within the lever slots. Some inserts would help to mitigate against that.
2. A different adjustment wheel for the tensioning. I know why the current design was selected, but I'd prefer if we could have an optional extra to replace it with something that resembles a 737's trim wheel.

 

*(As examples, I'm refering to the black inserts either side of the lever track for this 737 throttle - albeit I'd like to see less of a gap, or the ideal solution would be these grey inserts which completely cover the tracks for this A320 throttle.)

Ok I'm in with reversers toga etc, supported!  There is unlikely to be anything that's a better value proposition than this throttle wise.. 🙂

Looking at this right now.

That's perked things up a bit. 😁 Roll up, roll up.

Pledged. Thanks Chris for creating this throttle! I'll continue telling people to check out Fulcrum One because it's the best hardware maker in civilian flight sim.

Hope this gets the support it needs, I can't see another throttle product on the market with this feature set and price range 🙂

if anyone is on the fence, I can attest to the quality of the Fulcrum yoke product.  didn't think I needed it up until I owned it 😉

Chris is great with support too, I had one minor niggle and it was resolved quickly.  Spoken to him at Cosford a couple of times and (no offence if you're south of Luton!), He's a genuine personable northerner 😉

There's no such thing! 😀

Still stuck on 40 pledgees. Come on people. Dig deep tightwads.

Updated the kickstarter showing the new very solid desk clamp.

You can now have the friction way up and the levers are totally solid and heavy when you grab them and push. Very satisfying!

The latest surface bracket looks to be the one I'd want.
