Default Center console

I would like to build a center console for my RV7 so I can store charts and a flashlight. Does anyone have a picture of one they constructed to give me some ideas?
Thanks for looking

Default Nice one

I just saved those pictures so I can build one like it when I am that far along. That is really nice. A little spray adhesive - fake leather or paint and you have a winner!

Everything about a Center Console looks great, however if you haven't sat in a 7 or 9 with one, you will notice that they reduce the cabin space greatly. The problem with this is you are very likely to loose full stick travel without using a bit of pressure to push it into your leg in Roll. If you scroll down to the bottom of the link you will see picture of what I'm talking about. Now granted I don't have the smallest legs in the world at 6' 200lbs but it gives you an idea.

This console may be for sale depending on if any quadrants come on the market in the next couple of months.
