Panel plan v1...what's your opinion
Posted: Fri Jul 03, 2015 7:24 amI am starting my panel plan and would love current flying pilots input.
I currently fly a piper w left hand and all secondary controls right hand. I am comfortable switching hands so I built mine with left controls. I am trying to keep all secondary controls to the left hand.
Trying to accommodate throttle, trim, mixture, flaps, brakes, iPad (weather, traffic, map) and the efis to the left is a tight fit.
Here's my layout with the iPad on a swivel so it can position between vertical and horizontal.
What do you think? It's not symmetrical but my left hand comfortably can do all the secondary functions without crossing my right hand. What would you change or recommend?
FYI- the two vertical blocks are eyeball vents.
