Life has gotten in the way of both building and updating the website on the M3X so I thought I would post a few pics. I'm starting with the overhead console we made. Those of you at the homecoming may have seen this.

Here's a pic of the Kevlar panel we laid up to mount all the under seat components on.

Here's the foam and glass center console. Note the built in GPS. This is the main reason we made the overhead console. Once we built in the GPS there was nowhere for the accessory and ignition switches.

Here's the instrument pod. We laid up a Carbon/blue Kevlar panel to use instead of the horrid but functional aluminum panel provided.

Looks super.
I see in one of your photos you put what looks like a 2X4 over the torque
tube. You probably just put this in to protect the torque tube while you
were working on things but try this. I got a aluminum tube that I cut length
wise and then bent into a U shape. Then with spacers I mounted this U shaped
aluminum piece over the torque tube. It fits close enough to be covered by
the Kolb upholstery, strong enough that I can support my weight without
collapsing on the torque tube and is very light weight. I got the idea for
this every time I got in the factory plane they would said "don't lean on
that tube".

Rick,
That's actually a vacuum bagged Kevlar piece. It attaches to both the center console and another composite piece that covers the A-frame section of the cage between the seats.

John, is it just me or did your statement have a certain hidden Freudian meaning?

Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.

Gang:
My reply was not intended to go back to the Kolb List, but it did.
As we would say in Vietnam: "20,000 xin loi" which means I am sorry 20 thousand times.
Now.........what were we talking about?

Scott and Gang:
I echo Beanie Weanie's sentiments also. Looks good. Got to get a look at
some of their stuff last year at London.
BTW: What are those big things on the little wheels?

John,
The big things hiding the little wheels are there at Pauls request. I figure it's the least i could do considering all the work he's done. I'll be sure to leave them at home if you and i go hunting for short, soft fields to land in.
