Hey fellow simmers. My first post on here. Im currently building (blue print phase) a throttle pedastelfor a B-17. What I was looking to do is purchase 3 sets of the CH throttle controls (6 control levers) . I was wondering if the 3 units would be able to work together or would I have to build them all from scratch? I have attached some pics of how it will look when completed.

Heres what im thinking of using. Im thinking 3 sets because I will need 4 levers for pitch, 4 for throttles and 4 for mixture. The left over levers that will be removed will be used to simulate the turbo super chargers levers.

Heres what my end result will look like.

That is one AWSOME set up! You can have as many as 16 CH Products Controllers. Just make sure your power supply can provide what you need to them all. At the moment, I have a, FS, PT,TQ,PP,DT225,MFP, and three 1/2 TQs (switches). Each have their own PCB and can be mapped as separate devices or as a single one.

Welcome to The Hangar!
