Hi! Folks.
A bit of help for a "Bo Bo" on electrics, perhaps?
I unwittingly embarked on the plan to have the two options available at all
times in my naivety !!! So now I have a system using a Europa supplied DPDT
switch for the flaps on the  panel and a Europa MAC rocker switch on the
panel for the trim which surprisingly work complete with their LED lights. !
Then I have  MAC G1 P1 Stick grip which I'm told has effectively two SPDT
switches for each operation which even more surprisingly works !!!! BUT when
I couple the two systems together I blow fuses , which isn,t surprising
either !!! Since both systems reverse the motor polarity to change direction
of the motor it's highly likely that the polarity problem grounds the supply
through the common wiring on the stick?
So what I need is some "magic gismo" to correct this problem (sorry I nearly
used the word rectify!) or do I have to settle for an EITHER /OR Switch
(that is to say either Panel switch does the jobs or the Stick does the
jobs ?)
If anyone has a solution please let me know , but don't forget to keep the
jargon simple for a simpleton !!!!

PS. Any Jabiru 3300 Fans about will need to know there is a fuel pump mod
just emerging from the "bush" .It has been established that the mechanical
pump is overpressuring the float chamber for slow running . This should make
for considerably more efficient fuel consumption.?????!!!
