An F-16 is what I visualize as an ideal cockpit.   I happened to think that a=
ll the answers were locked in to our own personal Vision of that.  Throttle p=
osition will depend greatly on whether the machine is tandem or side by side=
 seating.   All mine are tandem where throttle in front of the left armrest i=
s most logical and of course there is no console possible. =20
