REFLECTOR: Overhead switch panel

[Al Gietzen]

I was hoping to be able to remove the entire switch panel from the roof. My
switches take up so much room, there isn't much room to make a cover/flange.
Doesn't seem like there is enough material up near the windshield to "screw"
anything to  without risking an embarrassing oops. 

I reinforced the inside of that "frame" with some plies of BID in an attempt
to lessen the distortion around the doors, like when the engine was hung. I
think you want to maintain some strength in that frame, which may be
difficult if you want to remove a whole section.  I also added frames across
the tops of the doors. Do you need those giant switches:-)?

 

 

Al, You're right. I don't have a guess as to what the "red button" is for. 

 

Why, it is the starter switch; of course.  Since we don't have mags we don't
need those expensive aircraft key switches.  (I thought of using for the
ejection seat, Tom, but changed my mind.)
