    New version of the Cessna control panel

    Hi all, thought I'd give a sneak peek at the next version of the FCP172/182.
    This one will blow away the previous version... I plan on having true vernier Pitch/Mixture, and a locking nut for the throttle. Carb heat on the FCP172 will be both analog and digital, so those with X-Plane can use the analog control and those who fly MSFS 2020 will have the digital controls. Same will go for the flaps control, so you will be able to switch between analog or digital controls, depending on what your sim allows.
    I'm about to order a few PCBs for testing... hopefully we don't go to war with China any time soon, as domestically made PCBs cost 10X the price of China-made PCBs!

    Guides for the throttle and vernier controls will be 3D printed on an resin printer... I'm fine-tuning those prints right now.
    Here are a few pictures to whet your whistle:
