Hi folks,

since a few weeks i build a throttle quadrant box with parking break and landing gear lever - not realistic looking, but i don't care about that.

Since 3 days i use MF and the first tests are successful.

For the future i plan to add a motorized trim wheel, which can be moved manually as well, depending on Autopilot on or off.

And yes, depending on the used stepper it is possible, there are some steppers, which can be "set free".

A very good design to 3d-print is here: http://bffsimulation.com/BFF_Motorised_Trim_Wheel.php. And i have a 3D-Printer.

Unfortunately the designer can't sell the electronics due to the damned Brexit, lack of electronic parts and covid (?), therefore i plan to use only the printed "hardware" and MF to integrate it.

Maybe someone has more time than myself and give it a shot......but i think the idea looks very promising.

Cheers

Kai
