 I plan to use the ACS Ignition Switch as shown in the Aircraft
 Spruce catalogue; the standard 'Off L R Both Start, model. Has
 anyone a better idea or used a different arrangement. Comments,
 please, Dave McC

   I have two batteries as I think most out there do so I have double
throw switches for leading and trailing ignition and both fuel pumps
to switch from the main to the backup battery but this could also be
accomplished with a double throw master switch.

   The advantage of independent double throw switches is that I run
the leading ignition and one fuel pump on the main battery and the
trailing ignition and the other pump on the backup battery on takeoff
and then switch them all back to the main after I have safe altitude.
