I just did a search on FS throttles and came up with 2 throttle quadrants (a gazillion hits with 2 throttles). They are the CH and the GoFlight models. Soes anyone have any other information on others that may be out there?

Hey look three Wards in a row... I use to have a CH Yoke with throttle and I was not happy with the way the inputs for pitch were read. Throttles worked fine. I ended up going back to a joystick until I see something like the following come down in price ;-)

I don't know that it will ever come down down far enough for me to be able to afford that one Ronald. It's a sweet set up though.

I have the CH Yoke, Rudder Pedals and, Throttles. I love them all. They are 100 times better than a joystick. IMHO

I concur with you Richie on the yoke and pedals. The joystick just never felt right with big iron. I like the feel of the yoke. But the sliders in the rudders seem a bit to easy. There are a few who have Saitek rudder pedals and love them. Those are slider resistance, and foot size, adjustable. Unfortunately the CH pedals aren't. But they beat the heck out of the alternative. I really like the control I have with them. Much easier to taxi and fly with. Michael, that's a nice thought. But I don't have the time, tools, skills or inclination to build them. My brother was a tool and die maker and will attest to my dexterity with tools (or lack thereof).
