Why Your Throttle Deserves Real Feel
Let's be honest: a throttle isn't just something you push forward.
It's the single most physical connection between you and the aircraft. A little more thrust, a steeper climb. A smooth retard, a butter landing. The feel of the throttle defines the quality of the flight.
If you're flying the A32X / A31X / A19X in MSFS or X-Plane, and you've outgrown plastic toys that wobble and creak, the Hoowalt D107 V2 Motorized Throttle Quadrant deserves a serious look.
Almost 1:1. No Shortcuts.
The D107 V2 isn't a "looks kind of close" device. Its dimensions, layout, and throw distance are built to near 1:1 scale of the real Airbus cockpit.
The outer shell uses durable PLA, but here's the key difference: every load-bearing and structural part is reinforced with metal. No wobble. No flex. Just solid, repeatable control.
And yes, it comes with a mounting stand, so you don't have to engineer your own solution.
What's New in V2? A Lot.
Compared to the original, the V2 version brings a long list of meaningful upgrades:
Adjustable push-pull rod damping – dial in the resistance exactly how you like it
Dust cover – keeps the mechanism clean and smooth
Better speed brake arming switch – more precise limits
More stable engine start switch – no more accidental slips
Detachable speed brake and flap lever knobs – easy customization
Filler cover between throttle and panel – a cleaner, more finished look
Revised trim wheel assembly – black-and-white solution, better aesthetics
Optimized backlight design – even, readable, and immersive
⚠️ One important note: do not rotate the damping adjustment counterclockwise more than two full turns. It's a precision mechanism, and it has its limits.
Motorized Trim. Dual Motors. Smart Switching.
The D107 V2 features full-range motion with dual-motor control. Manual trim and auto-trim switch automatically based on the aircraft model you're flying. No manual toggling. No extra steps.
It connects via two USB cables for data, plus a dedicated 12V power supply for the motors. Setup uses MobiFlight (mainly for backlight and trim configuration), while control assignments are done directly inside your simulator.
Works Where You Fly
MSFS2020 / MSFS2024
Fully supports Fenix A32X and FlyByWire A32NX. Trim works seamlessly, with automatic switching between manual and auto-trim.
X-Plane 12
Compatible with ToLiss A32X. Manual trim isn't supported on X-Plane, but everything else runs normally.
How It Feels in Your Hands
The metal rod-end edition takes things further: CNC-machined aluminum rod ends with a black anodized finish. High gloss. Cool to the touch. Noticeably heavier. You'll feel the quality before you even move the levers.
And with adjustable damping, you can make the resistance light and quick or heavy and deliberate. It's your cockpit. Your feel.

A Few Things to Know Before You Order
Because the D107 V2 is handcrafted and built with precision:
Production time: approximately 30 days
Lead time is longer – patience pays off
Once production starts, orders cannot be canceled or returned
This isn't mass-produced hardware. It's made for people who care about the details.
The Bottom Line
If you're building a home cockpit that actually feels like the real thing, the throttle quadrant can't be an afterthought.
The Hoowalt D107 V2 gives you:
True-to-scale dimensions
Metal-reinforced durability
Adjustable damping for personalized feel
Motorized trim with dual motors
Backlit panel for night flying
Broad compatibility with MSFS and X-Plane
It's not the cheapest option. It's not the fastest to ship. But it is one of the most honest, tactile, and immersive throttle solutions you can mount in your cockpit.
Your aircraft is waiting. Push the levers forward. ✈️
