I've read references to flip-down fuse block trays attached between the instrument panel & sub-panel. As a matter of fact, the recent Kitplanes mag has an article regarding types of breakers/fuses. There is a photo of what appears to be a flip-down fuse block tray. I can't really see the method of attachment though.
Those of you that have such an arrangement, are the plastic ends of the fuses facing up or down when the tray is up & secured. My plan is to have the tray hinged at the instrument panel end & fasten at the sub-panel end. This would result in being able to easily change fuses. (for me, on the ground...let's not get that started ) However, the fuse blocks would be 'inverted' when secured up in place. Bottom line: Are the clips that hold the fuse spades strong enough to hold the fuse during flight?
Experiences?
Thanks for info on this.
