• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I've looked at various throttle quadrants and figured it would be easy enough to build my own. I also haven't found a throttle quadrant I really like.

For Mixture and Prop controls, I'm going to utilize the push/pull knobs with the cables. Easy enough.

For the throttle, I'm looking to build something similar to what I see in Pitts S2 series and S1-11s. Throttle on a pivot with a big knob. Maybe a PTT on the end.

Is there plan layout for something like this? I could probably figure it out, but dimensions would be helpful. Also a source for for the handle.
