I've been putting this off for a long time, just like the window heat panel.
Finally got around to wiring up the engine reverser indicators, the speed brake armed indicator, and the flap indicators.
I goofed when I built the throttle and forgot to include a switch for the flap lights. I can't get inside of it very easily, and there's not a lot of room to work. I cheated a bit and mounted a miniature snap switch ahead of the flap handle on the outside of the throttle housing. I painted it gray along with the wires and ran them along the contour of the quadrant. You can't even see them unless you're looking for them. I was pretty happy about that working out.
The switches for the other indicators were all built-in when I built the throttle, so no worries with those.
I'm going to work on the instrument comparitor and the oil pressure/filter bypass indicators tomorrow.
Those reverser indicators are really bright!
