Brief Description:  2 - Rearranged panel switches

This afternoon I spent some time playing with the switch locations on my panel before starting to wire them. This version benefited from my flight experience in the Sling LSA. In the process, I also checked out my AveoFlash LP LSA Position/Nav/Strobe lights in conjunction with my Aveo PosiStrobe XP tail position/strobe light. What I discovered is that the strobes do not work unless the position lights are already on. Because there is no way to activate the strobe portion only, I decided to combine two 1-2 switches into one 2-10 that goes from off to position to position + strobe. As I have them now, the Xtreme EFIS and Garmin GMA 240 audio panel will both come on when the battery circuit is activated. This allows me to check fuel levels and begin setting audio levels with a passenger before engine start. The next 1-2 switch from the left is for the comm radio (to allow me to check ATIS before engine start). Next comes the Voyager EFIS, then the transponder, followed by the Off/Position/Position+Strobe, follwed by Off/Landing lights/wig-wag. That puts the Endurance Buss switch and pitot heat plus two expansion switches on the right. The time I have logged was only the time needed to move switches.
