You spelled my name right. That's all that really counts. :D

I used the panel on the right side for lighting controls. Big rockers are external lights; knobs are dimmer controls for internal lights; small black rockers are for interior utility lights.



The panel unplugs using a simple 9-pin molex connection:


As you can see, the CB's are all mounted across the bottom of the panel. Like Danny, I put the flaps on the Infinity stick. Buttons on the stick are also used for the starter, radio interrupt (to cut out incoming audio), and radio transmit.

Most other switches are on the right side instrument panel.

Switch panel location
 

Here are mine: Left side (fixed portion) Fuel boost, flaps, clock and its control switch. Right side (fixed portion) Master/alternator switch, starter switch/mags, ADI backup battery switch, panel light rheostats. Main panel center section EFIS 1, EFIS 2, A/P and E-buss switches are all lighted rockers. Below these are strobes, nav lights, ldg light, taxi light, pitot heat and stdby alternator (all switch/CB's). On right side of main panel is select switch for Tru Trak (GNS430 or EFIS 1 (AFS 3400)). Top left of main section has buttons for AFS AOA Sport. All the CB's are on the panel - at least for now. Picture attached. Many good ideas in this thread. Where things end up relates for me to personal preference and just when in the design process you pull the trigger and stop improving the panel further! Good luck to you.

Me too.
 

Although my -8 is still under construction, I used the same philosophy as jbDC9. I do have an Infinity grip so I plan for PTT, flip/flop, Smoke, flaps and trim to be there. The stuff on the right switch panel is just for starting up and shutting down, everything else will be on the left side panel close to the throttle hand.





The little blue tilt panel was going to be for flaps, but I opted to put that on the stick. So it is no longer there.
My 2 cents....

I stayed with the switches on the right except for the flaps switch.
Years ago I called Van's about the electric trim, and who ever I talked to convinced me to stay with the manual trim. So I mounted the flap control switch just to the left of the trim knob, so I can raise my hand from the throttle to the trim, and while stabilizing my hand on the trim, use the knuckles of my first and second finger to operate the flap switch. Then in rough air or in the dark, I can always find and control the throttle, trim and flaps.
