[simpits-tech] throttle reverse position

[David C. Allen]

Hi Justin
Sounds like the way the 737 Thrust reversers work.

If you use one pot then Full Reverse is 0 ohms, Idle is some percent 
of the pot travel, and Full forward thrust is 100% pot travel.

Then you assign a dead band around Idle position using your analog 
interface software or FSUIPC.
