Hi All,

 Anyone with an Xtra with the  standard  insrument console.

 Where do you put radios, GPS etc.?

  

 I have the small Pilot 3 GPS on top of the console.  The obvious place to put a hand held radio is either fixed to the centre arm  rest or strap it to your knee.  I have a small interface block for the  headsets temporarily taped to the back end of the armrest.

  

 What have other people done?  The great  visibility from the Kolb is fine but it does limit the `wall space` for fixing  othere items, map holders, sweets etc. 

  

 Bright ideas anyone?

  

 Cheers

  

 Pat

You can actually attach things to the "wall" as here:

 Thanks Richard, I was reluctant to go down that  route,what with the complications of opening doors etc. but your brackets  look good and firm and I may have to consider your way.

 Hi Vic,

 I have a piece of metal fitted over the rod from  the stick to the aileron. It is about 18" long and 3" wide  on the flat top  and has side cheeks bent down to enclose the aileron rod.

 About the only place anything can be atached on the  Xtra. Poor ergonomic design where everything was sacrificed to produce the  fantastic visibilty and that admittedly very shapely nose.
