Can you wet mould Plywood?

I'd try cold bending, using multiple layers of thinner material. If it was good enough for Orville and Wilbur, it's good enough for that. Use glue, not brads though: http://www.popularwoodworking.com/te...the_wright_way

You'll probably need 2mm layers for that radius.

Yes to building up in thin layers for that radius with the grain going in the same direction Veneers would do, you can buy Flexi Ply and Flexi Veneer 8' x 4' sheets tho, go to a local Joinery firm they may have some small offcuts you could borrow or even slice you some Ash or whatever you fancy using for your throttle knob. Ply is built up of layers that run perpendicular to each other thats what makes it strong and hard to bend.

109 throttle quad- nice project

as it's basically a rectangular box with very near 6" diam circular bit on the back, I'd be looking for something like a 2" slice of 6" diam plastic drainpipe, (chop out a ~100 deg segment for pushrods if using linear pots?), cut slot(s) for levers and sandwich between 2 ply plates for the sides. finish of rest of front box with ply.
Thickness of slice dependant on what thickness of wood you use for the plates- total width of unit should be ~55mm.

You might have to make a jig, glue layers and then clamp them up tight and leave it for a couple of days.
I did some wood bending a couple years ago. I cut some 1/8" thick strips,
3/4" wide and stacked them 5 high. Don't know how well this is gonna help you, but its an idea anyway:

You could always try and get hold of some of this stuff:

Looks more like an aircraft rudder to me!
