Hi homonculus,
I was going to try and track down an image of an MD902 collective - sorry, 'thrust' - lever but my favoured non-tracking search site DuckDuckGo sadly let me down. Suffice to say that it is like the one in the cartoon (which I remember from the late 70s), going down into the cockpit floor at the front rather than taking up the space required for the driver's sandwiches like a conventional collective.
AL1 - doh! Despite 9 years on type I'd forgotten that the Chinook has one too:
