In the thread on Paul Dye's RV-8 Cockpit Tour, Paul mentioned he arranged his switches by function. This got me thinking as I had planed on arranging mine by "Phase of Flight".
I've been struggling with this and thought I would ask for input from the RV Gang before I drill the first switch hole. My -9 will be D/N VFR only, so this greatly reduced the number of switches required.
As of Saturday night my panel looked like this.
From left to right the switches will be:
Master, Left mag, Right Mag, Starter, Avionics Master, Strobes, Position lights, [Some other switches, dimmers, etc. not sure what.], Taxi light, Landing light, Fuel Pump, Carb Heat, Throttle, Mixture, Flaps.
Pull type circuit breakers will go on the right sub panel.
I am thinking of adding a clip from a clip board between the D100 and radio stack to hold sectionals and check lists.
Ok gang, what are your thoughts on this layout?
