Description

PDF

Detent plate for the Virpil CM3 throttle, featuring idle lockout (lift to off, pushthrough to idle) and afterburner detent (pushthrough to on).

Idle detent takes up 10% of Axis range, afterburner 25%. Pushthroughs require slightly more force compared to the ones Virpil ships, making it less likely to accidentally occur in the heat of battle.

Detent is easy to mount repeatable thanks to the idle detent, just set the throttle to 0% and slide the detent in from the front until it seats snug with the ball bearings.

Print instructions:

  • Print on its side
  • use a tough, impact resistant material (I made it in PC)
  • use ≥ 3 perimeters
  • you need to add supports on the front screw hole, since it has a nose that is impossible to bridge
  • you need to add supports on the lower part of the mounting slit
