Assuming you are using something like the Infinity Grip, there is a common
wire for the trim top hat switch. Following the Safety Trim wiring
instructions you connect this common wire to the safety trim. To add the
Pilot/Co-Pilot selector switch you insert this (DPDT) switch between the
pilot and co-pilot common wires and the Safety trim. The other four wires
from each top hat switch all go to the Safety Trim - not through any switch.
I did the standard (momentary) on-off-on toggle switch on the Infinity Grip
to operate the standard Van's flap actuator. This toggle switch also as a
common wire. Use the other half of the DPDT Pilot/Co-Pilot to switch the
common wire connection between the pilot and co-pilot.
For other pilot/co-pilot switch configurations:
PPT - this is controlled via the audio panel as to what radio the pilot or
co-pilot controls.
Flip/Flop - I wired the pilot stick to control Comm #1, co-pilot controls
Comm #2. This is very limited value for me to add another switch to change
the pilot flip/flop between the radios. If the pilot needs to flip/flop
comm. #2 then use the button on the radio.
AP disconnect. Both sticks are wired to disconnect the AP. Considering the
Dynon EFIS as an auditable "autopilot disconnected" alert, I will always
know if the co-pilot hit the button.
I used miniature locking toggle switches in the 8A and the 10 for all but
heavy current applications (and I used switch breakers for those - such as
pitot heat and landing lights). They have performed well. Here is an
example of the DPDT on-off-on locking switch:

Thanks Carl
I will study your description and adapt it to my solution.
