FYI Circuit breaker colored caps

[Neal]

Saw these in a panel picture recently, great idea! The one breaker I need to spot fast is the trim breaker in the event of a runaway trim event. Have some on the way from Aircraft Spruce in an order, looks like you can get something similar on Amazon too.

There is also the Trim Priority switch on the left wing root that can be switched to "Off" to disable the electric trim system in the FX-3/EX-3.
I have not yet looked into replacing the separate trim controller in my FX-3/EX-3 with the Garmin G3X Touch / GAD 27 as appears to be the default on the XCub to get automatic trim, trim motor speed control and stuck-switch functionality.

Yes, I'm putting a red cap on that trim CB on the left wing root. The xcub's don't have it as good as we do as their trim disconnect I think is where our AP disconnect is on the stick, for certified purposes I'm told.
