HI All,
New to this forum and but am building an A320, sorry i have no website up and running yet!
Anyhow, Dose anyone have for sale or know of a site where i can purchase an a320 thorttle quadrant quite cheaply, FDS used to manufacture one for around $500 but since changed to pro-m ones at 3,500 which is well out of my price range for a bulider.
Cheers

you have come to the right place - westozy makes airbus throttle quads. take a look at his pictures in the forum realy are of a very good quality.
I'm sure he will jump into the thread when he next sees it!:)

There is also a nice airbus throttle available for sale from the spanish guys at opencockpits.
With backlight, detents, trim, etc looks very nice from the pictures and the youtube movie.
In the forum at www.airsimtech.com, following URL : http://www.airsimtech.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=106&PN=1
here you can find some info about it, pictures, link to the youtube movie, etc...

I'm afraid they are not building the throttle any more (at least at this time). Maybe if there are enough people interested they would reconsider (?).
It sure looks like a great product !!

A320 TQ "quite cheap", no such thing I think! It might be an assembly of small plastic and metal parts but 120 hours of labour isn't cheap no matter who is building them. The only cheap TQ's are DIYs I'm afraid. My units are AUD$3000 + 10% GST. Build time is approx 3 months from order but for the next 6 to 9 months I am building an A340 TQ and 2 x B737 quads, the order book is full!
