I didn’t like the stock TCA flap lever — it lacks the normal A320 “lift to move” action, which led to accidental position changes. So I designed a replacement flap lever with a proper pull-to-move mechanism and tactile detents. It feels far more realistic and eliminates unintended movements.
Designed for an easy, reversible install:
• Only extra hardware: a small compression spring (specs below). The original screw is reused.
• Detent inserts attach with double-sided tape.
• No permanent modifications to the TCA module.
Compatibility
• Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant Add-On Airbus Edition (flaps module). (Official product page: Thrustmaster)
Bill of Materials (BOM)
• Compression spring:
- Length ~20 mm (shorten if needed)
- Inner Ø ≥ 8.1 mm (for frictionless action)
- Outer Ø ≤ 12 mm
• Double-sided tape for the detent inserts
• Just reuse the original TCA screw
Install (5 minutes)
1) Remove the original screw and lever.
2) Stick the grooved inserts (detents) with double-sided tape.
3) Slide the lower part onto the lever (screw cut-out facing forward).
4) Place the spring and push the upper part down to engage.
5) Gently press down and reinsert the screw (avoid cross-threading).Install (5 minutes)
