You’re doing an awesome job building YOUR Super Duty. I would never feel compelled to sound off on your process. I just enjoy watching. Thanks for sharing!
I second the comments and switchology philosophy of placing the fuel pump switch on the forward panel, and the master/avncs master on the center console. Grouping like systems or arranging switches in proximity to others used in the same phases of operation has made me really happy with a panel overhaul I did on my Cessna. You’ll only be flipping switches on the center console during start up and shutdown, whereas the fuel pump may be activated and deactivated multiple times throughout the flight, similar to the lights and other switches.
I like the idea of having the Battery Master and the Avionics Master next to each other on the center console. I think that while flying it would be easier to glace down at the instrument panel to see if your fuel pump is on or off rather than looking past the y-stick at the center console. Also, it might be possible to mount a small LED indicator light into the panel in your field of view and wire it to the fuel pump so that the light is on when the fuel pump is running.
Wow...!!!.. A guy never really thought about or knew what or how much it takes to build a plane till a guy sees it done...Impressive...!!!..👍👍👍👏👏👏😊😊😊!!!
Next year for the seats was a reality check for me. Kitplanes don't assemble themselves, but it takes more time than I ever thought. Building the super duty looks like a lot of fun. Be safe on your next trip.
Personally, I like the idea of the two master switches side by side. There are lots of decisions to be made - it should be fun hearing back from all the experts on what would be the best. You're flying the plane - you have the final choice / decision . I always enjoy your videos - thanks for your time and effort and the top quality.
Thanks for the discussion on the parking brake. I will be starting mine soon and was banging my head against the wall trying to decide where to put mine. Keep up the great work.
Not sure if you'll like this, but here goes: put the key in the middle -- Master - Key - Avionics Master. That way you're going left to right to start up, and right to left to shut down. Just an idea. Either way, keep up the good work and the videos coming!
I thought of this arrangement too, and someone else mentioned this. But it was just too “unstandard” for me and it looked kinda dumb so I rules it out.
@@KitplaneEnthusiast Yes, I suppose I'm overthinking here. It jumped onto me immediately as a kind of a "desirable" flow-check thing, but other stuff matters more I guess.
Mark, If you plan on keeping both Zenith aircraft for a extended amout of time, keep your switch locations and groupings as similar as possible. Don't forget about Beechcraft wanting to be different/opposite of all other aircraft mfg's.
Hello from Sydney Australia. The Supa Duty is progressing well: you are really lighting the importance of predictive analytics: in other words, progress steps to reduce complications to the plane. I must say, I like the idea of an illuminated main switch: my reasons are only; 1. Quick troubleshooting 🌏🇦🇺
Excellent choice to rivet your stiffener instead of using double sided tape; much better solution to resist bending through shear flow. My opinion on the switch placement, follow your flows, Master and Fuel pump on the center console and the Avionics Master in the bottom left hand position just below the Display in the Instrument Panel 🤔 Great video as usual.Thanks for sharing 👍
For anyone wondering about my mention of “flows” I was thinking of the following start up sequence :- 1 - Master switch on to energize the electrical system 2 - Electric Fuel pump on to prime the engine 3 - Ignition to start to get the engine running 4 - Avionics master on after throttling back to idle This depends upon whether the electric fuel pump is required to be energized and on, as part of the start up sequence, in order to prime the engine. It’s just a personal point of view.
I know you didn't ask for it, but I will express it anyway. I like having the intercom jacks in the overhead and aft of the pilot seat. Slack wire is then behind you and gravity keeps it out of the way.
For a smooth flow, I would have the fuel pump next to the Master. It just seems logical to have the fuel pump next to the fuel select and the master. Cheers from Winnipeg.
I would like to keep 3 master switches together in a row, start up work from right to left, shut down to left to right Or move dimmer down near the key, and stack 3 master keys where you have the dimmer in the video. That was you flick/turn on the master switches by flight the front left to right.
I was wondering how you were going to install the push/pull for the parking brake. We are installing the brake lines and parking brake from Aircraft Specialty in our SD build. Ordering the hoses next week.
I would look at your check list, both regular and emergency, and position the switches so that there is quick and easy flow. I remember you mentioned doing transition training in this aircraft. If you are going to do that, then look at a certified aircraft and position the switch’s similarly in order to take advantage of muscle memory. But at the end of the day, I’d position it based on check lists and flows.
I would keep masters together and the pump on the main panel. I am a bit conservative but it makes sense since the master switch is used only when you starting or sitting down on the plane!
This is what I was leaning towards, but now I'm thinking the opposite! I think I'd like the pump switch down by the ket and master, and the avionics master up on the panel. I guess I don't have to make a decision until I start running wire!
If the fuel pump is just for backup or emergency, then I would mount it on the panel. If the fuel pump will be used continuously then I would mount it on the center console with the avionics on the panel.
This is the way I was originally leaning towards. But now I'm starting to think I would prefer the fuel pump switch down by the other engine controls, and the avionics master up on the panel by all the other avionics 'stuff'. I guess I have a while to decide. Thanks for your comment!
@@KitplaneEnthusiast I am not an active pilot anymore but I am flying RC aircraft. I always try to assign the switches of my transmitter to similar functions in all my models. For example the switch B controls always the retractable gear. So I would ask you how the switch configuration in your previous aircraft is. If you are satisfied with the previous configuration and if you do not have serious problems with it, you can replicate it.
If you normally turn the fuel pump on to start the engine, then it would be logical to have all the starting sequence switches next to each other. Master, fuel pump, and starter switch. Once the engine is running, turn on the avionics master switch located on the panel next to the avionics. Those three switches are close to each on the Piper panel.
Agree... start switch, master sw, avionics sw, and in the front panel the fuel pump sw, just to have the essential electrical sw together and the fuel pump in the front, once you turn it on you dont have to touch it again while flying. Like a commertial panel flow, electrical in one side, fuel in another, its just my opinion
The USB port you can drill a hole in the panel under the seat where the fire extinguisher is placed and the headsets cord connector i prefer them over my shoulders, on the roof for example on the 701, 750 and the 801 we installed there because we dont like to battle with the cord to get it out of the panel or the center console and prevent the crack wire in the connector jack, and if you have some jack connection malfunction is better to check the box connection than disasemble the panel, functionality.
So I am a CFI each aircraft I fly I need to adapt but if I had a preference I would like the switches to be closer to me to reach and the Center console would be nice location. It would make a good flow pattern for emergency procedures fuel selector fuel pump and go through the rest of the checklist switches. The only downside I see here is you have a center stick so it would normally be tied up with an emergency situation and then you would have to reach over with your left hand depending on your shoulder harnesses how friendly that is to go through a emergency checklist same problem with Copilot side. I have flown with students that needed to loosen the seatbelt or shoulder harnesses in order to reach fuel selector‘s or switches. Thinking as pilot it would make more sense to me do you have the switch is on the panel on the left side in an order for a good emergency procedure flow………mags, fuel pump, battery one , battery two etc. Don’t get me wrong I love the center stick just thinking through it👍🏻👍🏻🤠
I would mount the key, master, and fuel together. That’s everything for starting the engine. Then I would have the master avionics on the panel, since it turns the panel on.
I would have the fuel pump next to the starter and master. Just seems logical that they are together, and the avionics switch up with the avionics on the dash.
The mount is designed to clip into the 3.5” hole. Basically the D3 does sit flat on the surface, and the mount goes in the hole. What I like about this is that I still have the option to mount the D10 since they both mount in the same hole.
Hi Mark - your videos continue to be very helpful. You had mentioned a few hundred videos ago ;) that you had heard Zenith had improved the Yoke system so that it no longer had the coupling issue between the flaperons and the elevator. At this point in your build, do you see any obvious changes between your Cruzer and your SD in this area? It is a curiosity to me. Thank you.
Fuel pump up top so you can’t accidentally turn it on or off !!! Plus I would keep all the masters together !!! This is just my opinion not criticizing !!!
Try to make a flow with the master switch, magneto and avionics in a way like from right to left meaning first mastr then magneto then avionics Avionics last When you do the shutdown you make the inverted flow,avionics ,magneto and master at the end
I suggest anything associated with the engine in one location (e.g., near the key on the console) and anything associated with the avionics next to the avionics. In that way, if it's an engine issue you always look in one/same location and likewise for avionics. BTW, did you receive your super duty kit about this time last year? I'm not being negative. Perhaps we're being unrealistic about how long it will take for my wife and I to receive, build, and then fly our Cruzer once we are ready to receive the kit. Anyway, good on ya' for staying on it. We get a lot out of your videos.
John, don't judge how long it will take to complete your kit based on my progress. Everyone builds at different rates. First, I'm in no hurry whatsoever to finish this plane. Secondly, I'm gone for half the month for work, and on the days that I'm home, I'm not always working on the plane. I have a Cruzer to fly and a Pitts I'm restoring. I spend about 1.5 hours every day at the gym, and believe it or not, I do I have a personal life LOL. I'm also the only one here who has to cut grass, maintain the house, clean the house, do laundry, etc... I have a sticker business, a t-shirt business, a TH-cam channel, two Internet forums I own and maintain, and another business no one knows about. You may be able to build your airplane much faster than I can build.
I think the way you're leaning on key switch, master, and avionics master on the console is OK! NOW, to be one of those ornery contrarians (LOL!), I've never seen a push-pull (as in the parking brake) control mounted in a vertical orientation. Seems to me there is a risk for 2 problems - a careless passenger might somehow lean or brace themselves against the console when getting out of the plane and bend the extended parking brake control, or, the reverse could also happen when the brake is set and it could be accidentally pushed in. Seems this would be less likely if up off the console in a horizontal orientation. They're probably unlikely scenarios and not saying do it that way, just an alternative to think about! OTOH, the vast majority of automotive parking brakes ARE mounted between the seats, so it certainly will be a convenient and "natural" location for operation. Of course, the auto brake levers are usually fairly sturdy and do have a locking button to prevent accidental release. If you'd like to mount your headset connectors between/behind the seats, Spruce sells a mounting plate that you can install inverted so the connectors are horizontal and slightly below the top of the console. Similar to my reasoning on the parking brake push-pull, it protects the connectors and headset plugs from being damaged or disconnected. Are you coming to the Zenith Homecoming Fly-In in Mexico, MO this week? Can't get enough of seeing that 750 Blue Angel! LOL!
I would put the avionics master on the panel, by the the avionics. On the console I would put the master, then the key, in the order you will use them. I would move your brake cable to the right side of the console and the fuel pump switch to the left of that, with a fuel pump light on the panel. Passenger USB outlet could be on the side of the vertical console panel near the top.
fuel pump on the dash like you are already thinking? considering starting sharing my build on here. not sure if i'm up for it. i want all my effort going into building. the constant criticism sounds fun tho!
Yep. It’s constant criticism but a lot of support too. I’ve learned to focus on the positive and I completely ignore the critics. Most of them have never built anything before anyway.
After setting yourself up for an engine failure after takeoff you would probably start your EFATO checklist by first flipping the boost pump, then if you have no pressure you would switch tank, check pressure again, then continue with your checks…. I always wished the boost switch was close to the fuel selector so as to avoid having to move my hand and arm around the yoke trying to find and reach the boost pump switch when really, my attention should focused on looking outside. If both the master and avionics are close by, and they both feel the same, chances are you might reach for the wrong one, like cycling the master with avionics on…
You have valid points but the boost pump would already be ON for takeoff and landing since it is a back-up incase the engine driven pump takes a poop during the critical phases of flight.
I don’t fly full scale just rc. But I think u do amazing work and fast. I know nothing but would same layout as ur other plane switch wise help u at all. Great job great content. Also I have 16 switches in my impala. That’s a joke line from rap song
You showed how you are going to use the switches…why not use that order with the key in the middle…then you would use it it order left to right…master, key, fuel pump…you set the layout by use…not go back and forth!

Like the D3
How about master - ignition - avionics in line of starting procedure. Symmetrical too.
My vote is for the 2 masters next to the key, and the fuel switch up on the dash. Note, I am not a pilot, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

Are you going to reinforce the panel around your throttle control or is it already thicker/stronger than the Cruiser?
No this panel is made from .063 aluminum and should be plenty stiff enough for the throttle (and mixture).
Fuel pump switch on the front panel. IMHO

Hi George, my Cruzer has a different center section and a different layout for the switches that wouldn't transfer to the Super Duty.
@@KitplaneEnthusiast hahaha see told u I had no idea. Keep up the great wok
I would be inclined to keep all master switches away from passengers
That's what I was thinking. How easy is it to accidentally turn those switches off?
Both "Masters together & Ilumianated Swth or LED that pump is on, That & 5-6 bucks buys ya a cup of Joe these days :-)
You showed how you are going to use the switches…why not use that order with the key in the middle…then you would use it it order left to right…master, key, fuel pump…you set the layout by use…not go back and forth!
Correct, there should be a logical flow in the switches and grouped by function.
KEY | MASTER | AVIONICS (Fuel Boost Pump on the panel) - Just my worthless 2 cents =P
