Certainly do appreciate you passing on your advise and experience. I believe that is still the purpose of this forum.
As for my advise and experience is concerned, my ON/OFF aircraft switch is always and will always be OFF towards the nose of the aircraft and ON towards the tail of the aircraft. My " personal " reasoning is " air flow " over the surfaces of the aircraft. Never do I want air flow pushing a switch towards the OFF position. Granted, it may take a lot of air to push a switch to the off position, but stranger things have happened in this hobby.
