Hi,
Finally my TQ is getting closer to being done. It's amazing what a few hours a week can do for a project like this. It works, looks good (of course it does, I made it and I am proud, jejeje...). The best part, I SAVED a lot of money. I remember when I started cutting the first parts and then putting them together, it was an awesome felling, but then waoo... this really takes time! Should I just buy one? Well I decided not to, and the hard work paid off. Next step, work on the trim wheels.

Indeed Joe,
It took me a few months to get to this point, but completely worth it. I used basic home power tools and it is mostly made out of MDF, only a few parts are aluminum. Thank you for the nice comments and SIM SAFE!

Part of the motivation was thanks to you and your TQ AutoThrottle program.
I was looking to motorize my TQ and you made it really easy to do (wanted to finish the thing just to see the throttle levers and the spoiler lever move, je, je...). Now I really love arming the spoilers before landing. Also, all I have to do is plug-in the TQ to the computer, run your software, and see it come to life.
Once again thanks Diego!!!
