Opinions wanted on Throttle Quadrant

Saitek has a quadrant with 3 levers and six buttons. Buy two of those and you have the six levers you need for twin prop operations by the book. I love the extra long stroke of the axis on those.

Just wondering what are your opinions about the CH throttle quadrant? I'm thinking of getting the multi engine one. Are there other multi engine quadrant out their?

I've got the CH Products 6-lever one shown on that page. I like it, but it's quality isn't quite as good as I had hoped. When I first got it, two of the levers were nearly impossible to move, and now some of them are quite loose and will move at the slightest accidental bump. Other than that, it's a must-have for the twin-engine prop I fly most of the time. All the extra buttons are great for mapping common commands.

I might also mention that I did have the CH quadrant before swapping it all out for Saitek products including the Yoke.
The stroke on the Saitek is much better, quality at least on mine is excellent though I have read some complaints from others.
I don't think you would go wrong with either option, but for my money it would be the Saitek.

Next on my list is their trim wheel...........splendid that someone finally made one.

I have the CH Products 6 lever one with the six 2-way switches on the front. Been using it in various configurations for a little over 3 years now, with no problems at all. I really like it.
 
I have the CH Products Throttle Quadrant and am quite satisfied with it. I sim-fly single and twin engined aircraft only, so six levers is sufficient. I've not had any problems and the buttons on the front are nice for assigning things like flaps, gear, thrust/prop reverse, etc. I considered the Saitek as its levers move through a much longer arc, but settled on the CH Products as it is fairly compact and I needed only one for my type of flying.
