Well, I'm sure this will cause a spirited discussion.... However, I need
some suggestions.

Background

- Lancair Legacy
- io550
- Chelton dual screen
- Digiflight AP
- 3 axis trim


Ok, so my basic premise is that, I'll use elevator and rudder way more than
aileron trim.  Now, assuming the fighter grips from impulse aerospace, I'm
planning the following and would like suggestions from those who might be
flying something similar today...

- coolie hat forward/back - elevator trim
- coolie hat right/left - rudder trim
- top thumb - radio flip/flop
- top mom on/off/mom on switch - aileron trim
- middle thumb - AP Disconnect/Control wheel steering
- trigger - PTT
- pinky switch - intercomm com1/com2 or mfd screen select or bitching betty
mute (also called EFIS mute)

I'm not interested in putting pitot heat, lights, or start on the switches
on the grip, so don't go there unless some overwhelming reason to do so.

What have you done, what would you do, etc?  

Also, I guess I'll have to go look at the schematic, but if you put the
aileron trim on the 3 way switch on the top of the grip, do you still need
relays?

Thanks in advance, and fire away... Oh, that would be Fox 1 on the trigger,
but I put PTT there :)
