The side consoles can be completely assembled permanently at
this time. Again, remember that the previously glassed faces go on
the outboard and lower sides, so that they are not visible upon
assembly. Laminate 1 BID tape at the joints wherever you can reach,
and use flox at the joints also. Once each top and vertical piece has
been joined, round the common corner and laminate 2 BID around the
two faces, starting with a 1 inch minimum lapping onto the fuselage
side, and finishing with a 1 inch minimum lapping onto the fuselage
side main fuel tank, or Seatback Bulkhead, depending on FS location.
This will give each side console a lone piece' look and reduce
finishing weight later.
.....
Both the side consoles and the center console should be
assembled so that each top piece is level when in place. This will be
useful later for leveling your aircraft for installation of the main
wing and canard, as well as for weight and balance.
TOP CENTER CONSOLE ASSEMBLY
.....
Once the control stick assembly is in place, and the CS13 push-
pull rod to the elevators in place, you can permanently assemble the
top center console piece. Some trimming will be necessary to clear
the control stick and its associated hardware. The top piece is
mounted with flox.
.....
Round the top corners and laminate 2 BID at 45 degrees to BLOO
around the top piece all the way down to the bottom fuselage, using
1" minimum lapping onto the fuselage bottom, Seatback Bulkhead, and
main fuel tank.

To summarize, at this point in the construction, the center and
