COCKPIT CONSOLE ASSEMBLY 

.....

 Now is a good time to install your center console and the two side 

consoles in your fuselage. The accompanying sketches show the locations. 

.....

Lets begin with the center console, the centerline of which should 

be on BLOO. To gain more hip room the sides may be angled toward BLOO as 

they go down. The top center console piece is not installed until after 

all of the control stick mounting and rigging has been accomplished, but 

it can be used "dry" to help mount the center console vertical pieces. 

Remember that the glassed side of those pieces is the side not visible 

after assembly, i.e. the side nearest BL00. Two cutouts will be 

necessary for the seatbelts to clear the pieces. Use flox along the 

bottom of each piece to attach them to the fuselage, and laminate 1 BID 

on the inside lapping onto the pieces and the fuselage a minimum of 1 

inch. Do not glass the outside faces of the two center console vertical 

pieces until after the top center console piece has been permanently 

installed. The 'kink' is achieved with a saw cut into the foam (not 

glass) and beveling the foam so that the piece can angle upward.
