Ikarus C42 flightsim simple throttle stick

I am preparing for my microlight pilot's license on the Ikarus C42B, and the throttle is a lever located between the legs (and the steering control is between the two seats). When you have a few years of FlightSim experience with traditional yokes, it's quite confusing! 

This throttle is held between your legs. You can print the version with the plate that fits under your thighs. It's a very simple and quick model to make, based on Cordkovski's “Big lever”. It feels pretty good compared to the real C42! I welcome all your comments and suggestions for improvement! 

You will need the printed parts as well as the following components: an Arduino Pro Micro board, a 10kohm potentiometer, and a USB C cable :

• Arduino board : https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0DKJ4VR3G?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title 
• Potentiometer : https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0734K6WYP?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 
• USB C cable : https://www.amazon.fr/MISYNLON-flexible-transfert-donn%C3%A9es-Carplay-1M/dp/B0F9SFW9K2 

The code required for the Arduino board can be downloaded with the STL files (I assume you know how to load a file onto an Arduino board; if not, there are some very simple tutorials online). 

Connecting the potentiometer to the Arduino: Signal → A0, +5V → VCC, GND → GND.

This throttle self-calibrates; when you plug it in, move the lever from one end to the other and you're done! You may need to reverse the direction in MS Flight Simulator if the throttle increases when it should decrease! 

This throttle is seen as a joystick, with only throttle function, in windows (10, 11 and may be others).

it works very well with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 or 2024 and certainly others Flightsim.  

The PLA is sufficient. The parts are in the printing direction. “Normal” supports are required for the cover and the potentiometer gear.
