Max Clark Posted December 11 Report Posted December 11 Factory panel had two rows of switches on-top of the ignition: Master, Alt Field, Radio Master Batt 1/2, Emerg Buss Waiting for the acrylic to be cut now for a test fit, but there's a good possibility I'll need to switch from a 2 row, to 3 row layout (or maybe a 3 row layout would be better anyways?). I've been playing around with options on my desk and thinking about flow. Start: Master, Ignition, Alt Field, Radio Master Shutdown: Radio, Mixture Cutoff, Alt Field, Master, Battery select, Key Off/Out What would you do? Put the Emergency Buss out of the way on the top by itself and then use a "C" or upside down "U" shaped flow? Put the Radio, Alt Field, Master in a row on the right, with the Emergency Buss and Batt select on the left? If you sat down in this plane, what would make sense to you? Quote
bigmo Posted December 11 Report Posted December 11 I personally think the two options with the standalone emergency switch make the most sense to me. Either of those flows work and will be easy to establish a routine. 1 Quote
Pinecone Posted December 12 Report Posted December 12 Why do you have a Master and also Batt switches? I put my start switch between the two mag switches, on a row by themselves. Below that is Master (battery), Alt 1, Alt 2, and Avionics Master in that order. Quote

Because I have two batteries, so the Batt 1/2 switch selects between them. Quote
Pinecone Posted December 16 Report Posted December 16 OK. I thought it was a Bat 1 and a Bat 2 switch. I would put Master, Bat1/2, Alt, and Avionics Master in a row, in that order. Quote
Marc_B Posted December 16 Report Posted December 16 how about top pic flipped vertically? Batt1/2 / Emerg Bus Master / Alt Field / Radio Master Quote
Max Clark Posted December 16 Author Report Posted December 16 Had to move the ELT over to the left as well (Mooney's don't have a lot of space lol). This is what I ended up deciding: ELT, Emerg Bus Master, Alt Field Bat 1/2, Radio Master Quote
