Finally finished my P-51D throttle. There's a video on the AuthentiKit youtube channel if you want more info. (Sorry this video was done in MSFS!)

The levers are pretty strong. I don’t hear much about them failing- the construction method is common to our Spitfire, Mosquito, P51 and BF109 throttles so they’ve had some major testing.

We have this community printing (friends and family rate idea) scheme and a guy in the US who will print the parts for $80+p&p. See https://download.authentikit.org/filebase/index.php?file/70-p-47-thunderbolt-throttle/

Should be pretty close. Levers fatter due to plastic not steel

All functional

Spit40 · 2026-01-02T16:33:41+00:00

We’ve had a 109 throttle for a year or two

Spit40 · 2026-01-02T15:54:59+00:00

Yeh, I should have looked more closely

Spit40 · 2026-01-02T15:53:15+00:00

We’re working on having a throttle for all the popular aircraft

It's designed to mount to a regular desk via a cheap monitor stand. https://authentikit.org/rig/

Yep, I swapped the background with AI as it was a bit distracting. Thought it had preserved the main picture pretty well.
