New (Used) Throttle

A few days ago I was browsing our local version om Craigslist and stumbled across a used throttle quadrant located just an hour from where I live and the price was reasonable. So I got in the car strait away and was able to pick up a FSC Pro Non-motorised throttle.

It is a very nice unit. More or less all metal so it is pretty heavy and feels very sturdy. As it is the non-motorized version of course there are no dc-motors, steppers or servos. But further more there are a few other things not interfaced like the stab trim switches and the Horn cutout switch. No big deal it is just a few wires then will be working. The trim wheels are not interfaced either. The wheels can spin, but nothing registreres their movement. That is s bit of a shame.

I am eager to get it in the cockpit and give it a go. Then at some other point I might interface those missing functions.
