Does anyone have suggestions for a low profile rotary that I can use for building into instrument faces like for the HSI, or for caging/uncaging/calibrating standby instruments?

 I’m asking because I plan to get a display for all the centre pedestal instruments on the f-16. But that means some rotaries need to be mounted above/in front of the displays. So there isn’t much clearance space. Of course I can make the instrument frames thicker, but I want to be able to balance aesthetics with originality and with what can be done. 
note, I thought about using several very small displays, but I don’t want to use that many separate displays if I can avoid it, mostly because I only have one graphics card, and I already use 3 out of 5 ports

I use the ordinary cheap chinese decoders. the profile is low enough to house them in a instrument bezel

That looks very slick! I think I found the type on Amazon. How do you secure the rotaries to the instrument bezel?

The encoders are mounted to the bezel with their mounting nut (I think it's visible). bezels have recesses to hold the encoders and channels to route the wires. The bezels are bolted to a carrier plate (clear 1/4 acrylic sheet) that covers the monitor. Or am I misunderstanding the question?

You understood correctly, thanks.

What switch is used in the CMSP for the 4 OFF-ON-MENU switches? I tried the OFF-ON-(ON) switch I have but there's no way to wire it to where the ON and (ON) are independent. When the (ON) is selected, the ON is activated as well, if that makes sense. If anyone has a part # or link, I would greatly appreciate it!

 hey deadman,

do you happen to have the part number for the 4 Fill Disable switches on the fuel panel? As far as I know correctly, these should be latching switches or am I wrong?

The Fill Disable switches are MS-25089-3G-1 ALL valid part alternates - MS25089-3G-1, MIL-PRF-8805/3,MIL-PRF 8805/3, 011023689, 5930011023689

they are listed in the original section. The switch action is a push, pull switch it stays in each position Cheers

CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

Well they offer quiet a variety of Push-Pull's over here:

P-P Switches (@big river company :-) )

 

But for the ones I bought, I can say they work just fine.
