Jim, are you talking about the RST annunciator panel with the lights for low
vac, low voltage, low fuel, etc.? We have one in the club C-172 that I manage. I didn't realize we were in such an elite group. You don't happen to know where I can get some documentation for it. Brad "Jim Weir" wrote in message ... You wanna know why? I'll give you two good reasons why. 1. The BIG RED LIGHT on the center of the panel should be reserved for things that make the airplane stop flying, like low fuel, low oil, high temp, all that critical stuff. A radio (much to my corporate dismay) is NOT required to keep the aircraft in the air. 2. We designed and manufactured such a light...even a BIG RED light to tell when ANYTHING on the airplane went out of limits (fuel, temperatures, pressures, stuck mic, etc.). It sold for $75. In five years we sold fifteen of them. People don't give a damn about things like this until it hits the fan, and then it is a bit late. Jim "Bill Denton" shared these priceless pearls of wisdom: -I wonder why no aircraft manufacturers or mod manufacturers have come up -with a nice, big, XMIT light mounted dead center on the panel. - -It should be very cheap to do on a new aircraft, inexpensive when done in -connection with other radio installs, and not worth it as a stand-alone mod. - -And it would also provide a helpful visual cue for the folks who can't seem -to manage to hit the PTT until they are halfway through their message!
