I hadn't thought of using my U360 with it, though the range is a might less than an actual control.

Minwah:

Going OT slightly, I was thinking an alternative throttle control might be just a pot with a knob on it...a paddle really. Especially if it could be spring loaded to return to 'off'. Might be worth trying if you don't have space for a big throttle lever...

I have this set up to use the spinner for thrust.  It feels more natural than a joystick.

Those spring-loaded sticks used in some older golf/baseball games might work, except for the side to side play in them. (I'd orient mine upside-down of course.) Maybe rip and rig a control from studio video boards that do fade-in/out.
