Fabricated F-864C mounting angle for the throttle quadrant and left console.
Installed the DJM CT-83 throttle quadrant in the left console and fitted it to the fuselage. I did this mainly to see how the position of the throttle works for my particular arm length and preferences. As I mentioned in yesterday's entry, I've been considering installing a custom-made sloping console on the left side, which would involve re-positioning the throttle. Today's test suggested that I might want to leave the left console alone and not move the throttle from where Van designed it. I have long arms, and moving the throttle aft and inboard might put it a bit too close to be comfortable. We'll see.
