April 25, 20242 yr Hi Chris, thank you for your very honest words. Sometimes fate strikes hard and then all bad things happen at once. It really needs courage and most people in your situation would give up. Great to see you did not. I am really rooting for you, not just because you are creating wonderful flightsimhardware, but you are a very nice and honest guy. You just wanted to share your passion for flightsimming with us and what happend was not your intention. I belive in you and in Fulcrum and wish you all the best for the future. Good things sometimes needs patience and time. 😉 I am so happy with my Fulcrum Yoke, was one of the best invenstments i made in over 30 years of flightsimming. I loved your throttle since you announced it with kickstarter. Was a nobrainer to order it. 🙂 Looking forward, kind regards Chris (from Austria) 😄
April 29, 20242 yr Great to hear you are coming back, Chris. Thanks for the honesty and enthusiasm.Your product (especially the throttle) is mostly needed for the market. Good luck with everything!
May 15, 20242 yr How's it all shaping up Chris? However it's going, stay loose. 😉 The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
May 16, 20242 yr Moderator I spoke to Chris on 9th May and he’s taking delivery of all the necessary components. The last ones to arrive are coming from China but Chris is going to resolder all the joints as their skills are not great. The reason he doesn’t often post is because of his job with many hours spent on the road. Good progress is being made. 👍 Ray (Cheshire, England).

May 16, 20242 yr I wasn't giving him a 'hurry up', just a 'hang in there'. Resoldering joint!? Blimey! The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA

One of my less than a year old Saitek TQs is already starting to have some problems, so I'm really looking forward to the Fulcrum TQ! Al Edited May 16, 20242 yr by ark

May 16, 20242 yr Author Commercial Member Thanks for the continued support guys. The re-soldering is on the sensor boards. They are a mass produced part and in general they ok, but in early batches we found failures due to poor soldering. Since then I reflow all the sensor connectors and individually test them all. It saves time in the long run and ensures they won’t fail once in use. They are the same sensors used in the yoke so are proven.

July 2, 20241 yr Another update maybe? You know how the flightsim community loves an update. 😁 The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA

The metalwork is in and some of the control boards. I am programming and testing them and manufacturing some of the other parts needed for assembly. I am getting close to putting together the first units but am still stuck having to work to pay the bills as well. Thanks all again. I can't say thank you enough.
