 Hey Tom,

Out of reach? Why would you have them out of reach?

 

 Not my idea, responding to the quote below.

 

"My fuse blocks are inaccessible in flight because if the fuse blows, there is most likely a problem that I'd rather troubleshoot on the ground and because no single fuse can take out enough stuff to be more than an inconvenience"
 
 
 
 Looking for and replacing a fuse during IMC flight, turbulence, icing and setting up for the approach is not my idea of a safe flight condition.  With the crap I fly in, that is a very real possibility.  Guess this is one of the benefits we get when we build, adding features that are relevant to our own flying conditions.  I just lost 25 lbs of pilot weight since Xmas, so I can sacrifice a pound or two for breakers.
