    I really like the optional autopilot control unit on the glareshield, that's great UX design. However, it looks a bit odd because the AP ENG and UP/DN buttons are positioned lower than the other buttons, so I'd like to request a small model change where the mounting screws are moved up so they line up with the status display, and the AP ENG and UP/DN buttons are moved up so they line up with the other buttons.

    I understand that the glareshield unit is intended to match the center pedestal unit as closely as possible, but from a real world perspective, adding the buttons and installing the unit on the panel would've required a custom faceplate and a custom mounting solution anyway, so I think it would've been trivial for an operator to use a slightly different design for both.
