Show us your Center Console

[jiott]

In talking to Paul Leadabrand, his new Kitfox has a carbon fiber cowl and he thinks it is too thin (but very light weight) because he is afraid that if he flexes it too much in normal handling the paint might crack. It is something to think about when using this new light but strong material. Strength is not the whole issue; deflection is also important.

Finally at the stage where I can answer these questions, in stead of drooling over the pic's of someone other's baby: here's my center console. It has connections for two 'old style' headsets and one Sennheiser ANR.
The pockets on the sides are quite small, but they are practical enough I guess - and beautiful, too!

Nice Hans. Did you do your own upholstery? How about the padded center console? Looks good either way!

[Av8r3400]

Very nice. My major gripe about the console in my plane is the bruise that developers on my right leg after a long trip...

[Jerrytex]

I get the same bruise. I used to get it on my left leg too but i moved the door latch that was causing it. Kind of hard to remove the console now since all my wiring and fuel goes through it. I thought about using a piece of this padding. It's fireplace padding for the edges of brick hearths to keep little kids from splitting their heads open on the edges of the bricks.

Storage space is always needed, I added two pockets left and right of the center console.
