I've been flying my -6A for a few years now, and have never really addressed the issue of what to do with "stuff" in the cockpit. I generally just shove charts, plates, checklist, whatever into the space between the seats. Kinda works, but not really, and not good for miscellaneous loose things like spare batteries, etc.
I've seen some armrest storage units that look ok, but when I start designing one it seems it has to be mighty slim to fit between the seats.
I've recently been eyeing the space on the floor between the spar and the battery box. My -6A doesn't have the center console (uses a small subpanel for engine controls), so this would seem to be a good spot.
Has anyone mounted some sort of storage box in this space? It would have to be fixed to the floor but also easily removable for the inevitable trips under the panel.
I figured before I start serious cogitating on this I'd ask what y'all might have already done.
TIA
