Knob-To-Be Looking For A Use
The lid to this bottle of aspirin would make an unusually good knob for something. But what?
It's 2" in diameter and about an inch high.
And inside, it's just a lid but thick and well-built:

The aspirin bottle cap looks a lot like the manual elevator trim knob on my RV-8 (just a different color) !

TG, exactly my thoughts! Even though I'm just about done building and not really looking for new ideas or solutions, I still read the forums just about everyday. I like hanging out with people with active imaginative minds as displayed in this thread. Thanks everyone for making my day again

Turbo - you're on to something. Mount it on the panel and label it "side slip" the. When the passenger turns it, the pilot lightly presses the rudder pedal. It would really mess with them  |

Hmmm, there's an interesting word -- "passenger" -- that wasn't one of the options for the RV-3B kit I'm building.
