REAL BOEING 737 THROTTLE QUADRANT
This throttle quadrant was removed from N332UA, a Boeing 737-322 airframe that was manufactured in 1988 and flew with United Airlines for 20 years before being sold for scrap in 2008. I bought the nose section from this airframe in 2011 and have been busy converting it to a fixed base simulator in the basement of my home. I’ve spent the past two years cutting it into small enough pieces to fit through the door. You can read about my project here.
This throttle quadrant differs from many others you will find on the market in that it was removed in the proper way, by accessing the bolts holding it to the floor from the underside of the flight deck. Most real quadrants that come along are removed hastily by salvage crews by cutting the structure at the base from inside the cockpit, which results in a project that needs substantial metal work (TIG welding) in order to restore it to the accurate dimensions. The unit I am offering for sale is completely intact at the base, so the only metal work needed will be that required for interfacing.
This unit is complete except for the plastic fairing that covers the speed brake microswitch, which is cracked as shown in one of the photos. I have no way of testing this unit other than to make sure all the levers move freely, which they do.
The unit is ready for restoration and interfacing. I will accept returns but the buyer is responsible for return shipping charges as well as any eBay/Paypal fees incurred.
As I already own a real Boeing throttle quadrant converted by Northern Flight Sim, I do not need this unit.
I am happy to ship worldwide. Offered at $2500 USD plus shipping. The package is 31 x 20 x 16 inches and weighs 86 pounds. Buyers outside the US responsible for all shipping charges, customs duties and taxes. To determine your shipping charges, use the shipping calcuator. This item cannot be shipped via US Postal Service because it exceeds the 70 pound limit. I accept payment via Paypal or bank wire.

BMW builds its first MPV! Official pics of BMW Active Tourer leaked
Thu, 22 Aug 2013These leaked pictures reveal the first of a new generation of front-wheel-drive BMWs – the production version of the firm’s 2012 Concept Active Tourer show car. Yes, it’s the first-ever BMW MPV. While instantly recognisable as a descendent of last year’s concept car, the production version of the people carrier seen here features a stubbier nose and reshaped bonnet, as well as losing the show car’s oversized wheels and complex wing mirrors.

PACE's global Portable Assisted Mobility Device project gets underway
Thu, 11 Apr 2013The Partners for the Advancement of Collaborative Engineering Education (PACE) has challenged selected global college teams to design a Portable Assisted Mobility Device (PAMD) that will help solve mobility and sustainability problems within megacities in 2030. Each team of selected global colleges will consist of one Industrial Design Institution and several Engineering and Manufacturing Institutions, with students working alongside their professors and industry mentors to help develop their designs for a small power-assisted vehicle that can be taken on public transport, stowed or carried indoors. The PAMD concepts are designed to carry one passenger and their personal items such as a briefcase or backpack. The PAMD must address the transportation issues as the population grows within a target market that the teams specify.
