Title: Aerosim Solutions Boeing type control columns
Post by: Aerosim Solutions on January 10, 2011, 08:47:22 PM
Hi Guys,
I threw together a quick video of my B737 control columns for a customer in Queensland so he could see how to set them up. I've started to rebuild my sim using the same generic parts that I am selling online. I'm pleased to be able to report that they certainly work as good as expected. I've sold quite a few sets but I've never actually seen them work until I finished my own installation. The two columns are fitted with the generic column elbow devices and two of the base pivot units. I'll be doing an improved video soon to put on my website but until then this one is not too bad and it demonstrates a very simple method of linking yokes - enjoy!!!

Two 767 yokes in the hand and a full set of these columns ordered this evening!  Thanks Gwyn (and Roberto  ;) ).

I have to say these are such a simple yet effective design and very sturdy.  To see them in action is pure sim heaven!

Happy boy!  :laugh:

Ken.

Very NICE!!!  You should offer that as an entire kit minus the frame.  Very interested!

Gwyn,

Very nice.  Those caught my eye right away.  What does the diameter of the PVC pipe have to be? (want to make sure a comparable size is available here in the US.)

Cheers guys, I'm glad you liked the video, I'll make a better one soon for my website.

727737nut - I could easily make a full set up but I wouldn't really want to get into wiring up the yoke handles, these can be bought directly from Roberto at Throttletek and I'll make the hardware to mount them all - can do!

Usafgadget - Our aussie PVC pipe has an outside diameter of 83.5mm and the wall thickness is about 3mm.

I'll do more demonstrating of my products with videos soon...

Cheers, Gwyn
