I recently finished building my throttle and trim wheel, and wanted to revive this thread for anyone unaware. Authentikit is a great project with a lot of potential. It’s definitely worth checking out if you have an interest in DIY controls.

I’ve printed and assembled all of the spitfire gear except for the gunsight now, and got to fly with them the first time this week. What a blast! Definitely a wonderful project, and dead simple to DIY. The designer is a genius in terms of engineering for 3D printing. I’d post pictures, but they look the same as above.
Flying with a trim wheel is fun, and the brake handle being an actual handle makes a big difference in ground handling.
