Master breaker?
Avionics bus?
Separate breaker off the avionics bus?
Separate breaker off the main bus?
Other?

Or the venturi off the side of the airplane or the vacuum pump.

Strangely, there *have* been times whilst taxiing when turn signals
would've been mighty handy in our plane. Rear-view mirrors would be
nice once in a while, too.

A pair of Sidewinders would look cool mounted on those flat metal
Mooney wingtips.

Reverse, for backing into the tiedown. I don't like horsing
airplanes in or out of tiedown spots. I wonder if the old manual/
mechanical Beech-Roby props had reverse pitch, or just a low-pitch
stop?
