AutoThrottle Project J

The following schema is the mechanism of my autothrottle.

figure 1

　This figure shows only one thrust lever, but 4 levers are installed in the "bolt shaft". The "bolt shaft" is driven by a geared motor. Thrust lever is linked with the bolt shaft via a slip mechanism of nylon washer.

During autothrottle mode, the position of throttle (of No.1 engine) in FS2002 is monitored by EPIC, andEPIC moves "geared motor" when the position changes.
During manual mode, each lever can be moved manually by the slipping mechanism.
