Brief Description:  Work on switches

I decided to change my swich layout a little out of a little necessity. When I computed the center panel switches I intended to just run taxi landing lights for both units at the same time. I will do that for the Duckworks wing lights since the only thing that differentiates the taxi from the landing light is the angle of the mount.

The Aeroleds are different. They actually have dedicated taxi lights and dedicated landing lights in the lighting module so I decided I wanted to split them off which means I am one hole shy of what I need.

I decided I wouldn't try to "cram" a switch into the center panel area (although it would have worked ok...but not optimal). I looked at the switch and conferred with my friend Jim and decided that the boost pump switch would be the best to move and it would fit nicely in the extra real estate I have below the Flight Data instrument on the left side of the panel. I marked the position that I felt it would fit nicely. I will give it a little extra visability...though probably not what you see in pic 2.

I ended up playing with 1-3 and 2-3 switches figuring out what to use where.....for instance for taxi / landing / nav lights....do you just crimp the wires into a single fast-on or use a 2-3 double pole switch to use two separate fast-on connectors.....gonna have to research more.....
