| What is the best order to buy controls in? |

Kinkos can do that for you, I think Office max and Staples can too. You can always print out your canel on multiple sheets with any printer, and tape them together. That would be the cheapest way just for a template |

All of the control vendor sites have mounting diagrams that show you the sizes. You could just draw them out on a piece of paper or make your own in an art program. As for printing it full sized, as as been said, Kinko's and the like can do it. Ask some family and friends though, maybe someone has a plotter at work. My girlfriend prints out my templates for me on the office plotter. As for your original question, like many of the other questions asked here, there's no right answer. Only what's right for you. Nobody can tell you what that is. As has been said, if you want to save on shipping, save up and order everything that's coming from one place at once. If you want to get playing some, order your encoder a stick and a coupla buttons. If you wanna get your CP built, order the controls and get them installed. Like others have said, kudos to you for taking on a project of this magnitude. You need to get out of the mindset that there's some magical "correct" way to do everything though. This is such a diverse hobby with a thousand ways of doing the same thing. There's no "right" way, only your way. D |
