No, it's not.

I remember a thread about it.  The maker had an explanation for the control placement but I can't begin to remember what the explanation was.  Whatever works for the person using it! ;)

Any control panel that requires you to read an owner's manual before operating it qualifies as a Frankenpanel to me.

Tailgunner:

I think of it as a negative comment, usually in relation to where someone's notched the sides of a classic cab to fit that huge box in place.

Here is my last CP. It is a sit down cockpit style frankenpanel.
The chains were analog, so I hacked them to a sidwinder joystick to make them a USB joystick for windows. Much smoother than sapping out the pots. One drawback though is that they draw power from my neck-bolts.



Seriously though, it is just a descriptive term. It is only derogatory in the mind of the person that wants it to be.
I am a Jew. Is that derogatory? If a person doesn't like jews, he will spit the word out....but it is not, at its heart, derogatory.
