We spent quite a bit of time trying to keep the panel of our Europa

Monowheel free of clutter.



There is a convenient piece of real estate between occupants in the

ceiling. 



We are thinking pretty hard about making it a control panel and putting

small switches up there that would control coil of relays to run non

critical items, like position lights, strobes, landing light etc. 



My partner has access to wire that is bout as thick as a model airplane

servo wire. They come in twisted pairs, from 3 pairs on up. It is probably

like the twisted wires you see inside computers, like the ones running

fans etc.



These wires would be running along side of headphone/mic wiring.



Does this sound acceptable?

Hi Ron

        I built an Europa and put several functions up in the overhead

area.  Master, Strobes, running lights, alternator shut off and back up

alternator on, speaker, Head phones.  I made a cover for the windshield

bow and ran most of the wires up the starboard half of the bow.  It

strengthened the bow as I did it for both sides.  It got rid of a bunch

of switches that are used only once to start the mission.  That left only

relavent switches on the panel.
