Machined this simple handle and added some knurling, works a lot better than the stock little nub that comes with the kit

Looks beefy! I was thinking F14ish or something. Nice work.

Thanks
The center stick came with the project when I bought it. I do like that I have buttons for PTT, AP, smoke, and Ident on the stick

Maybe room for guns & missiles in the future.....

But that stock throttle nubbin was just too small, Its a mostly hollowed out piece of 1" round stock, threaded and knurled
& way easier to handle

Since I ,made the throttle myself I designed a knob and cover. 3D printed in SLS(PA).

Alex, that's some good looking printing. I always have trouble gett text "IDLE" like that to come out well.
