Excellent build, well designed/simple build. You put a lot of effort into these builds and it is appreciated

[@AndreasMake]

Very intuitive explanation of the mechanics behind this. Thanks for sharing. 👍👏

[@CessSim]

your a wizard mate. All the best at the expo.

[@newfieocean]

Awesome job!

[@-TK-421]

Great Job.

[@mryunas7071]

Wow kid grew up

[@pear355]

ty for the all those vids i really enjoy ur works :D

[@paulcarpenterfilmandmedia]

Great updated version of this tutorial, Trevor! I have just switched my cockpit sim to MSFS and this guide had my modified flaps switch (and whiskey compass) running nicely in no time. In my case, I just needed to add some transform values for the servo position.

[@sprint955st]

Well, I know what I’m doing this weekend.

[@andrejjan2240]

Flaps lever is like magic stick in the hands of wizard........

[@MP-zk7mm]

MobiFlight sadly keeps printing the warn on flaps input value "change" as if I was rotating the potentiometer even tho I'm not even touching it. Have you ever cross this issue before?

[@Guyffey]

Hi! You did a great job and I wanted to have a go at making it and I was wandering if you need supports when printing the parts?

[@dominikehmann1739]

I have a problem with my servos. When I press "test" in Mobiflight, the servo moves. When I press "stop" nothing happens. Maybe someone can help me? Thank you!

[@thanossakis5323]

Hi captain bob and thank you for your great videos. I’ve got a question can I connect to one arduino trim wheel, throttle mixture and flaps all at the same time?

[@janmenzinga]

Hi Trevor, I've been away some time, but back on X-plane 11 and arduino again. Can you do both the indicator and the lever in Air Manager? The indicator is working fine, but not for the lever...

[@elimentic6836]

noob question here! firstly this is sick!! secondly, does this work on arduino leonardo/pro micro? and does the software you are using replace the need for arduino IDE? making it easier to configure potentimeters, buttons and switches easier for simulators?

[@thanossakis5323]

Hi captain Bob instead of compare tad it shows another one that says modify and has different settings what do I do set the input and output values? TIA

[@andrejjan2240]

Yeees, hallelujach!:):) Finally some more-mechanical part! :):)

[@alekZL3ALK]

Amazing work on the Cessna 172!

[@learnphysics_teshomek9678]

Can you tell m how I used this for fsx?
