The 777 throttle quad was custom built by Gwyn over at Aerosim Solutions. This is his first 777 quad and what a fantastic beast its turned out to be. He's utilizing a number of his generic modules available to all sim builders to demonstrate their versatility. I recommend checking out his site. And no he's not colorblind, I requested it in gray!

 

All parts have been crafted from the CNC including this flap gate.
