WWing F-18 Throttle.... and This happened :(

Changing out throttles i dropped the whole thing on the metal crossleg of my desk.
Here is the results. This is (very) brittle plastic.
So, what to do?


Well, the throttle brackets cost 20 usd… plus… wait for it…38 usd shipping. They dont come w fingerlifts, so you need to reuse the old ones.

I took picks to ensure alignment and worked in a lit up area. Small parts includes a spring, screw and tiny nut. Only took a couple of minutes to install the fingerlift and the rest was cake. Just wish that shipping had not been so bad. Otherwise, im glad WW can be depended on for parts.
And We Are Back!

Glad you got it working again!

I was going to say, even if they don’t have the fingerlifts for sale on the store they definitely do sell them - if you contact them directly I’m sure you could get a replacement set (assuming you can get through the language barrier).
