Typical Stick Grip Switch Combinations for Bi-Planes:
#1 (thumb operated 4-way switch with China Hat) — most bi-planes do not have an electric Pitch and/or Roll Trim System, so they use the 4-way trim switch for stepping frequencies UP & DN through the presets in these new comm radios that are available, and use the side-to-side motion of the trim switch for Comm Flip/Flop to the Left, and Ident to the Right. Or, some have a Pitch Trim system, and use the side-to-side motion of the trim switch for Comm Flip/Flop to the Left, and Ident to the Right;
#2 (index finger) — PTT
#3 (thumb side, just left of the 4-way switch) — ON/OFF (8636) push-button for: Strobe Lights, Landing Light(s), Nav Lights or Smoke;
#4 (half way down, thumb side) — Auxiliary Fuel Pump ON/OFF (8636) push-button;
#5 (pinky switch) — ON/OFF (8636) push-button for: Landing Light(s), Strobe Lights, Nav Lights or Smoke;
#6 (thumb operated, knuckle side of hand) — Engine Start Normally Open (8632 N.O.) push-button (now you don’t need to hold the stick with your knees when you start the plane!) [ relay not required ].
