Subject: Switches for stick grip

     I like rudder and elevator trim on the 'coolie hat' switches, PTT in the most natural position, whether it's a trigger or button.  A/P disconnect is a maybe, but I'd keep everything else off the stick.
     In my experience with ES's, you adjust the rudder trim at least ten times more often that aileron trim, so to me it makes sense to have the rudder on the stick, the aileron on the panel.  On my last one, I put a COM swap switch on one of the positions, but wouldn't do it again.  Too easy to bump it without noticing and then be transmitting on the wrong radio.  Not that I'd admit it ever happened to me . . . .
