My new ACE yokes

[Michael S]

From what I kow the Yoke rotates 50 degrees in both directions, so in summary 100 degrees. I have built my yoke that way.

By the way, any chance of a picture of your selfbuild columns/yokes? And were are you located in germany?

Hi Michael,

my newest level of knowledge comes from a flight technician: he sais the angle is 90 degrees to each side.
Here are some pics (an early scratch):










You have a PM !!!

I have to correct my self: the actual angle of rotation is indeed about 90° to both sides, so 180° in summary.

I have contacted an ATPL student and a real world 737NG pilot and both confirmed this.

-------

Obviously there is some wrong information out there that can lead to this idea of a 50° rotation angle:

1) simulator video at 8.45 and 10:00

2) At this website it says also 50°: http://www.737ngproject.be/Yoke.htm
(great site by the way despite of this wrong information)

3) PMDG´s Virtual Cockpit

...

But again: that is not correct! The actual angle is 90° to both sides.

737NG real Yokes turn 100 degrees each side.
All other Boeing aircrafts 757, 767, 777 . Turn 60 degrees.

Our Yokes originally were designed for 50 degrees. Now we have increased it to 60. FS aircrafts are sensitive enough that you almost never use full deflection besides FLT control check.

Dual linked 737NG Yokes go all the way to 100 degrees. BUT we limit POTs to 60degrees. beyond 60 - it's just for your satisfaction.
