Default Side consoles

Anyone have pictures of modified side consoles for the front seat (mainly the right)?

I'm going to have to do a little tweaking to get the stock parts all fitted, and was interested in what others have done over there in terms of switches / fuses / storage / etc.

Thanks!

Default some real beautiful work......droool, drooooooolllll

Mike, a nice setup.....
but I'm surprised that the key from your 'other' ride will fit the RV!?!?

I guess it's true what they say..... about there being only a half-dozen key combinations eh?

Here's mine. But as Barack Obama would say, "I didn't build that."

Thanks.

I guess I have always been a little superstitious ... always wanting to fly with something that has previous flying experience besides me - like only changing out flying gloves one at a time. Although only 1/60th the weight, I figure this little hot rod can borrow some soul from my previous fighter experience. Now if only I could pull 9 Gs without bending the wings!

Jeff,

The O.D. green is material I got from Strong Parachute. I purchased about 5 yard for my seats.

I had Abby sew them up with french stiching.
