I seem to remember from articles the recommendation to not have more than a few switches in a row without spacing between them. I think the idea was that in the dark (or in smoke) you can more easily feel your way to the switch you want if there are spaces in between banks of 5 or so switches. Goes along with the idea that your should be able to locate and operate any control in the cockpit blindfolded.

I realize, not unlike the prop question from a few months back, that many things are specific to the airplane one is building.  However, it would be helpful to verify I haven't missed some obvious engine circuit or engine switch prior to sending these panels off to frontpanelexpress...

My Zenith 801 is setup with:

- 13b
- EC2
- EM2
- 2 FI Fuel pumps
- A four tank fuel system( 4x15 gallons ), the L&R outboard fuel tanks pump into the respective L&R inboard fuel tanks via two facet 40171 fuel pumps.  These are labeled the Xfer Pumps.
- A single battery & single alternator setup.

Please take a moment to see the attached pictures for the panels in question...

Thank You.
