The Tiger Moth has 2 magneto switches outside the cockpit mounted on the fuselage. The right magneto (forward switch) has some low speed ignition retardation capability to allow the starter motor (the person swinging the prop) to easily start the Gypsy Major (the engine). Once started the left magneto (rear switch) is turned on. Magneto checks are done during run-up by momentarily turning off either switch individually, pre-takeoff checks are to ensure both magnetos are on (switches up). Couldn't be simpler.
If it was really a problem mechanically or ergonomically it would have been phased out long ago.
In this case, it does look like Robinson came up with a new way to complicate things unnecessarily by using a different orientation for installing the same ignition switch. My concern in my post above was that from looking at the pictures megan kindly posted, it does look like the labelling on the switch panel doesn't match that ignition barrel.
Eurocopter also did a bodgy with their unreliable push-button switch panel on their early AS350s. The later toggle switch replacement of this panel is worlds better.
