Hi all, and apologies if this has been covered previously. I am attempting to build as near a replica as possible of the DC3 throttle assy, but cannot find anywhere any info as to the width, height, length of levers etc., of said quadrant. (I have many photos of cockpits-the internet has many, but do not help much in this regard). I do not live near enough to any air museum where one of these DC3's may be housed, let alone being able to wander around measuring things. (I am in Australia, near Sydney). So, I would appreciate very much if anyone has any info, or is able to do these measurements for me (I know I am not the only one looking for this info) and would be most happy to share everything I do etc. As they say in the flying world - clear skies, happy landings, and a very happy new year!

Hello, I'm building my own A320 cockpit (using FMGS). I'm starting with the FCU. I wrote already the software, which allows to connect my own made HW. HW is running on PIC Microcontroller, and communicates via USB with one or more PC's. These PC's then communicate via Sockets with a DLL that is working with the FMGS simulation software. I'm now starting to build the HW of my panel. I have a 3D-printer, CNC and laser engraver (Snapmaker 2.0 A350). I have already a concept working for push/pull rotary encoders. If people are interested in one of these topics, feel free to ask. I have all dimensions of the A320 FCU. For the characters, I'm using the MS 33558 font, and use my CNC to carve out the characters on painted acrylic. QUESTION: Does anybody know the exact size of the characters on the FCU (SPD, MACH, ...). I estimate this to be about 3mm high. Thanks!
