Briefly pondering the left console I figured that the the front and rear throttles and quadrant are installed permanently that there is no reason to put off installing the complete left console and panels at this point.
I started by doing a little more wire work at the CB panel. I added some spiral wrap to an area where I saw a little vunerability as well as a couple of tie wraps and lacing just to secure some wiring a little better.
Then I placed the top armrest panel on along with a skeletal rib that goes from the front to back of the left console for screws and strength. I began putting in screws on the covers and filling in the holes with the proper sizes.
By the end of the session the left console was totally and permanently installed! Another step toward the seemingly elusive goal of completion and flight!!!!
