I have installed the ZAC supplied landing light option in both wings so I have a total of four bulbs, two each taxi and landing on outboard area of left/right wings. Do any of you guys have suggestions for how (and at what focal point in front of plane) to properly aim the beams? Any help and/or suggestions are very much appreciated.

MY fighter-style control stick used to be from a video game, came from e-bay, cost less than $20, and has a four-way hat switch for trim, a PTT, a flaps down, a flaps up, and a leftover real neat trigger, for either the guns or the missiles. Once you strip it out of the base, you get a stick handle with all those micro switches, whose cumulative value exceeds cost. It works, and it's cheap, so what's not to like?

Woohooo! I also have a switch on stick that cuts out the flaps so I can't hit them by accident.

(;>) Seriously, why do you need anything more that a PTT button on the stick ?

At this time I still don't know what buttons I will have on it (other than PTT), but I would like to do the wiring once. Period. I am going to use a Tosten grip ( http://www.tostenmanufacturing.com/catalog/aircraft-grips/ ) which comes wired with 10 wires 16 AWG. (I probably won't use all of the buttons, but better have too many than wish I had bought a grip with one more button.) I am interested on the wiring used (multi-conductor cable? a bunch of single conductors? type, source?) and the connector. (The multi-conductor cables I found on the 'net are sold in spools, the smallest 100' long.) I saw today a cable with D-sub 15 connectors ( like this: http://images.pcworld.com/howto/graphics/193829-belkin_pcmonitor_606_ori ginal.jpg ) that I could cut and attach the shorter length to the grip and use the longer piece to connect to the panel. Problem is (is it?) that the wires are too thin... Interested in not reinventing the wheel...
