I have a small piece of the original plane.. the one that sits in the smithsonian basement . its a tiny scrap or wood from the bottom. i friend of my fathers was researching the aircraft for a book. (never published). my dad was doing all the translations of the engeneering drawing/notes etc. i was a little kid when he was doing that. i still have a lot of copys of "stuff" he did. very cool. i forgot about the plane till i saw this post. im going to dig it up and look at it. ill try to post some of it but i i remeber the drawings and such were huge. My parents grew up near the Gotha factorys. he even remembered playing in the bombed out hangers that went under ground. they were blown up by to russians.

Horten Ho 229 cockpit mockup

Throttle quadrant
Here's a good example of why I simply *must* do this project! Arthur Bentley kindly sent me scans of all the original German production drawings of the cockpit area. The Ho 229 is one of the few German aircraft from WWII where the original drawings survived. Most were destroyed as the allies advanced unfortunately.
So, the throttle box. I had some good photos of this, here's an example.

I started on a more or less rectangular box in Autocad, but then I got the drawings from Arthur, turns out the shape is a trapezoid.
