Howdy again-

  

 Thanks to all who offered suggestions for the lighted, engraved rocker switches- now have two sources, Pacific/Gulf Coast and Aerocraft.

  

 Next question.  I am investigating how to swap all stick switch functions from L to R (Infinity grip) by some reliable, safe means.  About 8 wires minimum (4-way trim, CWS, PTT, gnd).  I would prefer a simple switch as opposed to using relays (4PDTx2) but I'm beginning to think there is no source for an 8PDT switch.  

  

 Any suggestions or am I barking up the wrong tree and there's a simpler way to do this?

  

 THANKS!

Many of those can just be paralleled as long as you don' t have two 

people fighting each other over the use of the switches.  And I'm 

assuming here you mean you have two Infinity control sticks, one for 

pilot and one for copilot.  The PTT for each stick would control that 

person's PTT connection to the radios, so you don't want to switch 

that.  Trim you're only going to be using one-at-a-time, so you 

should be able to parallel those.  etc.

Dave, that answers part of a question that I had, as I thought that I 

might connect  both sticks in this manner (parallel), and add a grandson 

switch that broke the grounds on the co-pilot grip to disable it if 

desired. I recall that a lot of builders use relays to wire their 

control sticks. What is the objective of using relays? Is it  to solve 

the 'contention' issue between the pilot/co-pilot?
