With the canopy off, tilting the panel up reaches a point where the

push down very gently on the wire bundle where it can be reached just
fore of where the bundle exits the panel structure, I can make it
toggle on/off. And I mean *very* gently.

All this points to a b0rken wire ... just hard to imagine having two
wires to two places having the same problem on a new glider.

I can tell that the wire bundle at that location gets quite a bit of
stress when the panel is up. Hopefully the factory is tuning into
this ...

A friend had a 29 new in 2007 that had the same problem with the
radio. Not sure which wire, but stopped transmitting after lass than
10 flights because a wire broke.
