Default I want a freakin' cup holder!

Ideas for cup holders? I WILL have one. May try in a center console (still not sold whether to make one vs have some lateral leg room), or a pull out from the dash like some vehicles have, though I believe there isn't much room. Oh yeah, I'm 6'2". Any ideas that people have done?

Might try to get one mounted along the outside cockpit wall. Down by your left knee. Other than rudder cables, there's not much in the way there. You'd have to use your "stick hand" to reach it, would be the only problem.

Make sure it's deep enough so that your Big Gulp drink doesn't end up on the floor in turbulence!

Apparently those unfortunate enough to be flying nosewheels () are fortunate enough to have a built in cup holder in the gear mount where it meets the center section.

Default Problem solved!



Available here for the low price of $10.95. Don't forget to install a relief tube.

Wherever you put it make sure it doesn't interfere with your seatbelt release. Ask me how I know.
