I have been working on the electronics and air systems. The plane has three fuse parts. Tail section,
mid section and forward section. My goal was to have these parts remain removable for maintenance and inspection purposes. To do this of coarse all the air, electrical and lighting has to be able to disconnect at each section.

The top picture is the panel I have made which is accessed each time the plane is readied to fly. It has the powerbox power distribution computer and screen as well as the air fill for the brakes and retract system. Also there are two small switches to turn the navigation / landing lights and the after burner lights on. The landing lights automatically turn off when the gear is retracted and the burner lights go on when the throttle is in a predetermined position like around 80%.
