Hey @Tumbler31 it would be great if you would be able to share your files with the community. Best regard!

Sending you lots of good vibes, Tumbler31!
If it ever works out for you to be able to provide files, instructions, etcâŚ, thatâll be great, but I totally understand life getting in the way.
I did a MP flight with Stalker, had a ton of fun, and then my fall semester of teaching started, all online, with one thing after another to deal with. Havenât been able to fly MP again yet. Iâm choosing to look at the positive side - itâll be fun when I get the chance to fly MP more, but itâll happen when it happens.
And if it works out for you to post more about the project someday, great, but if not, I understand. I have passion projects from the past that just couldnât happen because of life getting in the way.
You have provided a beautiful inspiration to the owners of Cougar throttles. An âexistence proofâ that a homemade, 3D-printed throttle-detent system could be implemented, with very little (or no) fancy machine-tool work. Knowing that something can be done is an important piece of inspiration.
This is going to sound kind of ridiculous, but sometimes when I need a little âpick me upâ, I look at the animated GIF you posted at the beginning of this thread, and just let a happy dreamy feeling come over me. It gives me faith that someday, my BMS life wonât involve those loud clicky detents in the Cougar throttle anymore, and that Iâll be able to use it like a real F-16 throttle.
The inspiration alone is valuable, and is much appreciated! :woohoo:

Probably would work great with my plastic âTQS Classicâ also!

@Tumbler31 - what materials would you use for your next version? Do you think hard wood would hold up? Did you keep the original Cougar throttle axis bearing ?

Waiting for the next updateâŚ.! I will try to upload a small video as a reference⌠https://www.facebook.com/FalconSimStore/videos/1495693597237524

Thanks for the positive reactions. Yet Iâm not really happy with the rail design. I works but has some flex in it. Iâm trying to see if I can change it, by moving the detents down to the hinge.
Main design principle is still fully 3D printed and no modding required of original parts. Thus I only replace the main axle.

do you have some good news?

I miss this project, are there updates?
