I've looked at various throttle quadrants and figured it would be easy enough to build my own. I also haven't found a throttle quadrant I really like.

For Mixture and Prop controls, I'm going to utilize the push/pull knobs with the cables. Easy enough.

For the throttle, I'm looking to build something similar to what I see in Pitts S2 series and S1-11s. Throttle on a pivot with a big knob. Maybe a PTT on the end.

Is there plan layout for something like this? I could probably figure it out, but dimensions would be helpful. Also a source for for the handle.
