I made a throttle quadrant specifically for the A2A Piper PA-24 Comache as this is my favorite GA airplane.

The case and parts are printed with my Bambu Lab X1C 3d printer,
Programming with Mobiflight (what else?) was very easy and I enjoyed it a lot.

Functions:
- Throttle and propellor pitch lever with 100mm travel and vernier adjustment, using 100mm travel 10kOhm linear potentiometers
- Mixture lever with mechanical limited 80mm travel, using 100mm travel 10kOhm linear potentiometer
- Magneto switch
- Starter button
- A 3-position landing gear switch with yellow and green indicators that dim when the navigation lights are switched on
- Trim wheel with 10 turn 10k high precision potentiometer. The trim wheel has an internal ball bearing to limit the mechanical load on the potentiometer
- A 4-position flap switch
- On the back side a USB-C connector, reset switch and GX12-7 pin connector for future extension

The trim wheel and flap switch are far from the real PA-24, and are a compromise.
The labeling on the front of the case are 3d printed in the first layer of the front panel. The mistake I made here is that the L and R of the magneto switch are swapped when I look in the PA-24 (the L should be on the right, the R should be on the left).
