Description
The Aerotronics F-16
Throttle features a unique internal gating detent system that removes the need for an external throttle guide rail. Aerotronics is the only company to accomplish this feat to our knowledge. The throttle base also offers the same form and fit as the flight-ready
unit. Designed for use with Aerotronics F-16 production
grips (Part # 300-T0-1002), the base provides high fidelity and functionality at a fraction of the
cost of a flight-ready throttle. The total arm sweep from cut-off
position to maximum afterburner is exactly 62°,
like the real jet. Robust construction and a high reliability
potentiometer result in a workhorse that can be installed
at a workstation or in a full cockpit simulator. It has a built in encoder board for independent USB plug and play functionality.
Throttle Base Features
• Working friction wheel provides for tension adjustment to user preferences
• Working cut-off lever to engage cut-off position
• Throttle gates are integrated into the throttle assembly
for greater installation flexibility
• Throttle grip lifts/rotates to enter gates
