WOW.... This guy has some skill and so many TQ variations available - many in retro! 707, 727 series. It's about time someone did this. I'd be interested to learn more about these

That's a great find !!!!

Unfortunately it's in US so shipping + duties will equal our European EXPENSIVE suppliers prices at the end of the day, but it's a good start.

Well I found this site a few months ago. I've been in the market for a TQ and radio box. Sooo I took the plundge. Looked like the best bang for your buck. I just recieved it and all I can say is wow! The craftman ship and attention to detail is outstanding! Within minutes of plugging everything in I had it up and running. The TQ feels very solid. Keep in mind it is made of plastic but I would say its as solid as the saitek TQ if not more solid. I will run a review of it will some pictures in the next day or so. If your looking for a TQ, hands down this is the best way to go!

Which TQ and Radio box did you buy?

I will be ordering the 737NG Radio box once they start accepting orders again.

Was the radio box one piece or did it need assembly??

Thanks!
Matt

Hey Matt. I orderd the 737ng quadrant and radio box. The radio box arrived in one peice, as well as the TQ. No assembly required.

I certainly don't know anything about http://simquads.com/ although I Googled their address, but does not make sense where they are located. Also the main phone number is listed to a mobile phone not to the address listed on their web page.

Simquads sounds too good to be true, so any information about them, please share.

Thank you Greg for the update, looking forward to some HD pics and hopefully a video with your review:)

Interesting find in regard to Simquads , the physical location (address) and phone number uncertainties are addressed in their FAQ's section :D
http://simquads.com/faqs.html

"Why is your address a PO Box?"
We do not have a retail outlet, just a production facility. We needed a place to receive mail and packages whether or not we can be physically present in the office. We do welcome visits to our facility. All we ask is that you call in advance to arrange your visit so we can be sure to be available.

Why is your telephone number registered to a cellular phone?
Again, not having a retail facility, and not always being in the office, we wanted flexible communication that can follow us wherever we need to be. Please feel free to call us anytime. If by chance we miss your call, leave us a message and we will return it as soon as possible.

So... has anyone bought another one of these yet?

Any updates on quality? Maybe a different model?

I believe Greg in this thread ordered one and was very positive. Love to hear an update as well because I'm thinking about ordering one as well.

Hey Guys, I have some pictures of my TQ and radio box here : http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/showthread.php/23960-SimQuads-TQ-and-AFT-Radio-Box, as far as quality goes, I would say its the best bang for your buck. The craftmanship behind it is amazing! Best cockpit hardware investment I've made.

I dont like this from the shipping policy.....

If the product is damaged in transit, customer’s recourse is to file a claim with the carrier.

Why do I have to mess about making claims if it arrives in 17 pieces, surely the sender has the contract with the carrier (and dont call me Shirley).
Allan.
P.S. By the time I pay postage, packing, handling, brokeage, customs etc it would be cheaper for me to fly to the US of A and put it in my suitcase and also I get to meet Mickey Mouse - and I dont mean Matt.

is anyone else having to wait for Simquads to make an order because they are not happy with their suppliers for parts?

I have been waiting for 3 months now to make an order but no luck so far!
