Stunning work, I love visiting this thread from time to time!!
The wiring system is ingenious, very nice. Modularity in a pit is important, once up and going you will find that maintenance runs at almost the same ratio to flying hours as a real aircraft does! There is also, as you obviously know, always one more DOOR to move the damned thing through!
Your instrument panel is a work of art Ed!! And your idea of putting the Saitek switch panel where the gunsight would go is also very good. Does that panel control some of the functions of items around the pit (and they are just for show) or is it for extras?
Anyway, great work and you make me very jealous, looking at your pit coming together
