I do not have any experience with them but the guy who makes them is a personal friend. He is putting one in the Radial Rocket he is building. They are high quality and well built. I will be buying one and putting it in my plane.

Doug mentioned this on the front page today.
I have one of his throttle handles on order to retrofit into our DJM quadrant on the -3. I saw the product highlighted on the Kitplanes web site last week, liked the look, and had one on order in a couple of days. Andy was easy to work with, and I am looking forward to seeing how well it fits!

Looks nice... but if you end up flying from the other seat, you might appreciate something a bit more symmetric.

In Paul's case that won't be a problem...

If you call Andy I am sure he will custom make one to fit any location.

I have a set of retrofit levers from Andy, for my DJM, and I can tell you that his response is wonderful. My experience is that most of the aviation vendors we use have good service, but Andy's service shines above the others, in my opinion. He was quick to provide the switches I wanted in the throttle grip, since I already had trim and other switches on my Infinity stick, I only needed a couple of momentary switches in the throttle.
I'm almost to the point of installing my quadrant with the new levers and am looking forward to seeing it installed. Once I do, I'll post a few pictures. (Maybe someone else will post some sooner.)
I think his quadrants will look exceptionally good in the RV8's and I think he may be working on a center quadrant for the side by sides, but that is for Andy to say.

That throttle looks pretty cool. I have more buttons and controls on mine than I could possibly use, but I my only regret is that I only hooked up my flaps on the throttle. If I had it to do over (or wanted to tear it all apart and use another button), I'd have wired my electric fuel pump to one of the switches. It's a pain to have to reach over to the right switch panel to activate the pump ...
