This is my main Throttle, Prop Pitch, trimmers and Flaps controller.

I have been using 7 of their controllers including the GG-TQ6 throttle quadrant for 7 years now.
Just so you have a more complete picture of what is available
The only problem I have with the CH throttle quadrant is that the travel of the levers is kind of short and you need two fingers to operate each lever. Otherwise they are accurate, sturdy and as you know, very programmable.
The Saitek is also accurate, it has a longer travel than the CH, the feel is good, better grip and the price is great. It is plastic like the CH but not flimsy by any means. |
Thanks, the Goflight do look interesting, but besides the price I want one I can clamp on and hence remove. It seems the Goflight need to screw down.
Also I probably only need 3 levers, since I have a dual warthog throttle that also has a rotary as well.
Yeah the CH the travel does look kind of short and stumpy. The Saitek looks to me better the way it angles outward as it would be on the end of my desk not next to my chair - so if it points out that's good.
