Title: TQ Lever Force on movement
Post by: kurt-olsson on August 11, 2016, 10:51:34 PM
I am following this information when adjusting my slipclutch for my throttles.
http://www.737flightsim.com/737PushPull.html (http://www.737flightsim.com/737PushPull.html)

It says 4 pounds give or take 2+-

Have anyone of you measured the force on your levers at the upper knob?

I am afraid my levers will be to hard to move once the slipclutch is able to pull them back from full power to idle.

Would be great to hear some numbers on what you have.

Also, i am using a normal weightmeasure unit for travelcases when measuring this.

Mine measure at 2.5 lbs using your method (i.e., a travel suitcase scale).

I think 6 lbs would be unrealistic.

You may also set your clutches to your liking.
I mean you have to be able to adjust the lever without undue effort but too soft like most repros is not good either as it often means unprecise setting.
Remember that you have to move both of them together ( one lever lbs X 2)

The force required is approx 1.5 kg per thrust lever.
This measurement was taken on a OEM NG TQ with the OEM A/T drive unit in place.

Cheers,

Forgot to thank you all for your answers. Glad news is that my levers can be moved by theslipclutch at 0.9kg each lever so i will add mine also to 1.5kg as OEM value.

Thanks really appreachiate it.
