Made by a pilot for pilots, the “SMOKE FENCE THROTTLE” consists of a throttle grip with an LED SMOKE Rocker switch. The grip is manufactured in the USA by Swearingen 3D works of Marion IA., packaged in the USA and distributed by the designer. Everything you order is prepared just for you, only after you order. Upon order, your configuration options are checked and incorporated, final assembly completed, and continuity checks performed to assure the value and performance I have designed for you.

The throttle grip consists of a 3.7 inch 3D printed “SMOKE FENCE THROTTLE” grip, made to “plug and play” over the existing throttle lever of the VANs RV-3, -4, and -8 /8A throttle quadrants CT-42F, CT-43F and CT- 82F, 83F and 81R (as pictured). The outboard face of the grip is a spherical oval for your small finger rest, in the color of your choice.

The throttle adequately clears the existing PROP knob and still retains the throttle ergonomics of the original VANs throttle quadrant.

It comes complete with functionally tested and wired SMOKE switch. Your SMOKE switch is contained within the inboard “FENCE” face, and is operated by the pad of the left-hand thumb. The wire bundle exits the outboard end of the overlay and routes down the forward side of the throttle lever internal to supplied heat shrink tubing. The throttle race receives the bundle which goes forward to aircraft systems.

The “SMOKE FENCE Throttle” comes finished in cured urethane and finished in a military flat black... (RV-8 CT-83F Throttle quadrant shown in pictures, not included in sale).
