I needed to attend a meeting a few days ago in Central GA so I decided to do a early morning flight to attend. As I normally don't take my coffee with me when I fly, I decided to this time. I need some ideas for a type of holder and location to mount it.
I have a Travel Mug. My 18-month grandson thinks I have a Stainless Steel sippy cup... I tell him real men drink from SS and not plastic. The mug is perfect height to rest on floor and wedge beneath the arm rest on the pilot’s side. In flight, sometimes I’ll just lay the mug on top of the flap handle between the seats. My flap handle is covered with shrink tubing to protect against scratches mainly from seat belt clasps...

I have a spring loaded truck cup holder under the dash on the passenger side, locks flat and hidden when closed and flips open when you push on it. Works well but does slightly impact full forward stick travel when open.

I use a rock climbing chalk bag. It is a vertically oriented pouch that sits on the floor directly in front of the stick. It comes with a strap that I attached some Velcro. The Velcro strap then fastens underneath the seat to hold it in place. I have one in front of each seat on my 7. It's deep enough that you can throw your car keys in, your cell phone, and still have room for a portable mug or bottle.
I added two cup holders during my recent panel upgrade. Best $11 upgrade I ever made! Bought on Amazon. They fit perfectly into the side panels, one on each side.
