Holidays over and back to work. Tried this layout in the plane. Couple things to review. 1. Key start needs to move to the right about 3/4 inch and move the 2 adjacent switches over so they align better with ones above. Too tight on the wrist when turning to start postiion. 2. Stick top will have to be 1 1/8 shorter after Tosten Grip is put on to clear the throttle when throttle is pulled back to idle and to clear panel bottom if full forward. What has to be determined is how much actual travel will occur once hooked up to all control rods and stop limits are in play. 3. Middle stack is ok functionally. If top SL40 tray penetrates sub panel it will interfere with the middle rib to the top skin requiring significant cutting and reattaching to sub panel. Stack would have to start 2 1/4 inch below top of panel to clear that sub panel rib attachment. 4. Playing with idea of moving the lighting switches out from under the middle stack, and over to the left of existing ones. Then, lowering the middle stack and maybe putting audio panel on top of SL40. It has a smaller tray.
Slipped the template in place. I like where its headed.
Plan for clearance under pulled back throttle knob.
Don't know yet how much stick moves side to side after control stops are in play.
