737 TQ Choices?

[XOrionFE]

Ok 737 Vets...

I only need one more component right now to satisfy my immediate purchase needs for my sim and that is a TQ.   Looking at the choices out there there are not many.    I was looking at the FSC Non-Motorized one as an option as it seems to be a good price.    Specs say the Trim wheels are fixed but I am sure they are modifyable.    Wondering if anyone has one of these and any thoughts.   Are there others I should check out?  Anyone selling one?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
have you seen this one:

In my opinion the most advanced affordable solution!

hi scott.......
i have a symulatory TQ right now, but i was very interested in the Revolution motorised TQ that i went to paris to see it for myself.    i was smitten, one will be arriving here in about 10 days.   the FSC unit is actually made by symulatory.
Revolution do a standard version as well.  it's exactly the same as the auto unit except no auto's.  runs via a Bodnar card.  priced at 650 euro's at present.  i think this is a special offer and i'm sure they told me normal price will be 750 euro's afterwards.
why not hang fire until i get mine.  because you know i'll really put it thru it's paces and give it an honest appraisal.

Thanks Ian,
Yes, I have been looking at this new one and have been enquiring.  I just got a reply yesterday that they can added movable trim wheel (useable but non motorized) as well as upgrade to backlightable face plate on the non-motorized version for a few hundred euros more.    I am very tempted on this.  I would also definitely like to take advantage of their discount deal prior to FS Weekend (which I wish I could go to).   Anyway, i look forward to hearing more about yours when you get it and from them.   I would love to get the motorized version but I am already starting to stretch my initial build dollars thin...  I think I would be very happy with their non-motorized version as well.

Regards,
Scott

PS - thank you for the other file again

Oh brother.

I made the HUGE mistake of watching the Revolution video and now am really in trouble.   I was going to be very happy with a nice 737 looking throttle so was very much interested in the non-motorized version.  But now that I saw the video.....

        and you only watched the video.......
i actually went there, can you imagine how i felt......        

i'll get mine shortly, so will report as soon as afterwards.....

Well...

Apparently the early discount deal is over and I missed the boat so now there is certainly nothing to make me rush on this.   Will await your review Ian.   I am also really curious to see if Sim-Avionics will support it as that is the package I have (which I believe you were looking at).   Can't wait to see what you think. 

I will say this about them..despite being extremely busy with orders they are super prompt at responding with answers to questions.    Great presales customer service!

Hey Scott,

Remember this  "It's like the kid with the Sears Wish Book at Christmas" syndrome all over again.

I can sit for hours and look at all the flight sim products I would like to have!
