Tiller dimensions?

I'm thinking of making a 737 tiller wheel out of MDF (connected to an old PC racing wheel interface).

Can someone help me with the dimensions, thickness, angles, etc (if possible in cm or mm)?

Mine is built on a 4.5" radius. I don't know whether or not that is correct as I didn't have one to measure. I used pictures.

Angle might be 15° or so from the hub to the wheel through the spokes. The wheel diameter is a bit larger than a 1/4 of a circle, but not quite a third.



Why yes...I am a rocket scientist...

Here is the one I just got from Nick at APHS
Beware, some dimensions (all in mm) do not add up as the thing is dished.
The angles can be measured on the picture itself.
Might be difficult to replicate with MDF because of the dished out shape.
If its diameter is around +/- 25cm, why don't you use that PC racing wheel(3 spokes  I suppose) and cut off the unused spoke and rim part, could work too.Mike's way gives a spectacular result too.
