Default Very cool quadrant???

I work close to the marine industry. Got an email today from a company that makes some very cool controls. Might be very nice in a RV. Built to a very high standard. Might be a little big, but custom options abound.

I'm still 3-4 years away from needing engine controls, but if I needed them now I would give them a call.

Very pricey, even to aircraft standards.

Very heavy duty translate heavy for aircraft use.

Very cool looking though

Default Lets see here....

Throttle, mixture, prop control, carb heat, oil cooler door, alternate air, cabin heat, elevator trim......looks like the 8-lever model might be necessary.

The weigh a ton, I work in the marine industry and install these regulary, as well as a few other brands. Seriously, they weigh 4 or 5 pounds, the levers are usualy 3/16 or 1/4 solid stainless plate, and the part that sticks up is probaly less than 30% of the material used. I wouldnt use one.
