Brief Description:  Right Console #1

I began to review the right side of the fuse area to begin designing the right console in the cockpit. When I design it is mostly done in my head. I stand and stare while I begin to design and plan modifications in my mind. Sometimes I will make a sketch or even a little better well drawn out sketches of what I want to do......but most of the time the design is drawn, revised and updated within the blueprint of my gray matter.

The design started with removing the factory installed armrest from the sidewall of the fuselage. I fabricated a replacement of 1/16 aluminum angle which is the first piece of the console design. I am going to make a storage compartment within the armrest....but the drawings are still being completed on my cranium drafting board. I drilled and countersunk the angle to fit location where the factory armrest resided.
