John,

I put my autopilot (TT DFII VSGV flat pack) at the top of the stack, even
above the audio panel. It's easy to manipulate the controls in any location
but I wanted to see the mode, rates and pitch trim indications at a glance
without having to look down. It's all just personal preference.

Subject: [LML] panel question

I am finalizing the setup of my instrument panel -- LIVP.  Gary Wirrell of
Aerotronics wants to know if I prefer the Tru Trak AP on the bottom of the
stack as in the attached picture or have the transponder (one position up)
swap places so that the Tru Trak is one position up.  

Does anyone have a personal preference for this?  Theoretically I will be
letting my fingers do the walking on the AP controls more frequently than
the TXPDR.  Am looking for advice and rationale.

Regards,
