Brief Description:  Front & Rear Throttle Quadrant Install - Part 2

All three controls work *REALLY* well and even from the back quadrant, the control action is smooth, positive, and has very little slop or play in the controls. I can't be more pleased with the installation overall. I just wished there was an engine mounted on the front so that I could actually hook them up to something!

So, this marks the completion of another major portion of the construction! A few more wires to terminate here and there, fitting the new instrument panel Version 1.4.3 when it arrives late next week, making a couple of small panels below the right-hand console, and we can call the fuselage mostly complete at this point! At least for now. There's still some work to do, but it will have to wait until other work is completed such as mounting the wings. Following the instrument panel, I'll probably work on installing the landing gear. That's going to feel like some major progress too!
