I?m trying set up a way to turn off all of the primary switches* with one swipe of my left hand. Just in case I?m confronted with an off airport landing (or a landing that results in a non-reusable container). The goal is to shut off everything that could start or feed a fire with my left hand and still fly the machine with my right hand. (RV-8)
(*Master switch, Mag switches, Avionics Master switch, Alternator switch(es) and the Fuel Boost Pump switch.)
I?m thinking of using separate toggle switches, two rows of four, with a spring loaded bar above each row. These will be mounted on the left console, at an angle, between the throttles and the instrument panel.
I?m trying to find a source for the spring loaded switch bar. It is spring loaded both up and down. The bar is up and out of the way in normal ops, but can easily be brought down, over center, to keep the switches in the ?off? position. The photo will give an idea of what I?m looking to acquire.
Anyone have an idea where something like this can be found?
Thanks,
Jim
