Hi ,
I've been playing around With Carenado's C208b for a while on X-Plane,
Though I was getting a little frustrated with the Saitek quadrants , so I decided to have a go at making my own , here is a photo of the current state of play. It's based around an Arduino , running Vlad Sychev's ArdSim , fed by geared potentiometers , a couple of servos , an encoder for the trim , and a push pull switch for the fuel cut off .

All the best

Dave

Thanks Bob,

There's more on the way, the elevator trim wheel is now black , and I'm adding the aileron and rudder trim wheels and indicators.
Just waiting for another delivery of the missing parts.

Regards

Dave
