I also thought it would be cool to have these buttons for convenience and had a comm flip flop there. Flying along on flight following and eventually wonder why I haven't been handed off in a while and no one is talkking. Call in, but no one answers. Look down and was on the previous freq; Must have accidently hit the button without knowing it. If I was on an IFR clearance bad things could have happened.

When making these decisions, please consider the consequences of inadvertant application. I have accidentilly hit these buttons many times in heavy turbulence and no longer put anything there that is either mission critical, will do damage or won't warn me when it happens.

Come to think of it, I also had a bad experience flowing from the inadvertent application of a flap switch on my grip.

My stick bristles with buttons etc. and looks like it came out of an F-4 Phantom, but the only ones I actually use are PTT, CWS, trim, and flaps. And I’d actually prefer flaps on the panel, I’m just too lazy to rewire.
