CH Pro Throttle DIY detent
-
Ah…!
The arms.
I now see that you had written “two” in a previous post…!!
Of course, I would not have thought to say that, and would thus have ended up with… well… one arm…!
I would be able to do little harm to the enemy with such equipment; rendering me quite 'armless.
(See what I did there…!?)
So, if I print two arms as is, I would turn one upside down, BUT - by doing it inverted - the “finish” will look the same. I think I am getting that part.
The OTHER part, though. Your Point Number 4…?
They could print it UPSIDE down…? Is that right…?
So - I could still clip it on, but the arms would be on the BOTTOM instead of the TOP…? Is that your meaning…?SO - I show them the picture of the 3D Model which you made, and they can see that the arm slots go on the TOP…? Correct…?
Is the Gorn-Tard meter in the Red Zone, yet…?
Vixen-Vickers, I am quite an intelligent lad IN MY GENRE.
But… dude… I am WAY out of my depth here…!!HOW young are you that you program pro-quality Foxy Voice stuff in your free-time AND are able to design, model and create hardware like this…??
Geez’ Louise.

@Aragorn
I set my ABdetent to ~90% - finer thurst for AR/Landing. (but, eh no idle-detent - still using old click method)
Landing you can “correct” with airbrakes - so thrust in the middle zone , but AAR … well , depends ) -
@Aragorn Yes, you definitely don’t want to be a one-arm pilot, although I’m sure there are some and I don’t mean to offend them. I suppose we could all yearn to be one-arm pilots also and then they wouldn’t be offended. But they might suspect it if we don’t really seem to do anything about it when we very well could. I don’t know…so hard to say what’s right nowadays.
Anyway, I digress. Here’s a pic to show whomever prints the part:

@white_fang I agree, AB at 75-80% in this throttle makes it too close for precision in aerial refueling. I didn’t have problems for landing, though.

@Aragorn The great thing about foxter’s design is you can change the detent position, so of course go with whatever works for you.

Right…?
Genius bit of engineering.
PS. I showed a (hot little) chick YOUR detent device the other day.
She thought it was genius…!!
Dude, you (as I said to her) were so sweet to make all of those photographs and animated .gif and stuff, man. I didn’t get it at all, and then you went to all that effort. Then even Dunce-Gorn totally understood.
I really appreciate it, man.
What a lovely and kind fellow you must be.

@Aragorn No worries. I get also my first explanation was too simplistic.
Also, I’m glad I can return to the community some of what is being given to me

I know this thread is old but I just came across it and thought I’d share my own detent design that I made for my CH throttle a while back. I had two main goals:
- No permanent modifications required/100% removable
- Minimal travel loss while crossing the detent
I think I was able to pull both of these goals off quite well with the design I came up with. All parts just snap together around the throttle and can be glued for greater security if desired. Additionally, by adding a collar around the throttle arm I was able to make the detent bumps much smaller than would be required otherwise, reducing the travel crossing the detent to just ~8% of total travel.

@Spock Clever design!!!
