I have not finished building an avionics bay in a long time. I am close to finishing one, and I have a question regarding some methods I have seen from other fliers; If you mount the switch to the sled, so that the switch comes out when the sled is removed, does the switch access hole become the vent hole for the avionics?
I have always mounted my switches to the airframe, and drilled addition hole for the baro-altimeters. But the wiring is so long, abd has to be stuffed into the bar when the sled is slid in... does this make sense? What I am ultimately getting at, is cutting down on the excess wires that I have to stuff when closing up the avionics.
