Brief Description:  Installing the throttle quadrant

This section took a lot longer than expected because the original throttle location wasn't something I liked too well. I wanted the f-16 feel and look so things had to be re-designed without plans. So SLOWLY i measured everything 3 times and began to cut and carve. I found that the position I wanted was JUST clear of the trim lever and would work well for where my arm rests. Mind you if anyone 5'11" or taller sits on the seats I'm having made they will feel cramped and that the throttle is too close to their body so IF I ever sell this bird a new "tall" customer will need thinner seats to compensate. enough about that. I received my quadrant in the mail and was quite impressed with Baxter's Quadrants quality. I had to dissasemble and re assemble about 15 times before I was finished but now have a very linear and comfortable throttle setup.
