Before I installed all the switches in the panel, I did do a double check that all the switch types were in the correct holes and that the switch types rang out as I expected them too. There was one problem. The simplest switch, a simple SPST, has the keyway reversed form all the other switches. This means that the way I prepared these holes, the switch would mount with ‘OFF’ in the up position. I have to redrill three small holes in the panel to get this correct. The original three holes are all covered by the labels so they won’t be seen.
Here is a sequence of pictures showing the the main panel fully painted, labeled, populated, and positioned in the airplane with the throttle and mixture cable as well. Looks sharp.
