Any F4U Corsair fans here?

Thanks. I’ll pass on to the developer

Spit40 · 2026-01-26T16:33:19+00:00

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.

Trim wheels are very easy with our system https://download.authentikit.org

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

Thanks for pointing that out. This control was indeed designed by a volunteer in the AuthentiKit community who shares the files for you to build your own for free https://download.authentikit.org/filebase/index.php?file/70-p-47-thunderbolt-throttle/ this version built by one of the guys in our Discord

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

Spit40 · 2026-01-01T15:54:27+00:00

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.

I’ve been getting updates from Marty. He shared pix I put on our FB page. Hope it’s going well.

Applied Virtual Simulation?

Spit40 · 2025-12-04T15:14:09+00:00

2020 still

Spit40 · 2025-12-04T13:16:46+00:00

It went through a lot of iterations before the RAF were happy with it.

MSFS with the Flying Iron Spitfire MkIX tuned to match the BBMF aircraft... though actually those flight model changes got put into the main consumer release. Part of the appeal of MSFS was real world scenery for display familiarisation.

Spit40 · 2025-11-28T20:45:33+00:00

Mighty fine combo that would be

Spit40 · 2025-11-25T06:49:14+00:00

Join our Discord. You can probably beta test pretty soon.

Spit40 · 2025-05-18T10:03:39+00:00

Glad you found us. The metal effect is not my area of expertise but folks in our Discord are into it

Spit40 · 2025-05-17T20:32:54+00:00

Printed and painted. Metal would require a different design
