Does anyone have any products that they know of or any
Rube Goldberg solutions that they have used for
installing/creating a pocket or pouch for the front
cockpit of a Yak 52. I would like something to keep
the sectional charts and checklists in while flying.
Thanks,

John,
Remove the front leather side panels and take them to your local upholstery
shop and have them sew a few pockets into the side panels. Have them made
with elastic at the top or better still, with zipper top end or snap flap to
keep everything inside. Some folks have a nice pouch made that is affixed
to one of the metal side panels on the console. This can be snapped in
place as well.

I took a stack of three sectionals to the lady that does upholstery work for
me and had her make a pouch that they would fit in easily. She forgot to
make a velcro strap to go over the top to hold them in tight, but so far
they haven't even tried to come out with a fair amount of negative g. I
attached them to the kick panel with HD velcro. So far so good. She has
yet to make me another for the back cockpit for charts/barf bags.

Gee, and all this time I thought that was why they put zippers on flight
jackets. So that you could partially unzip them and stuff charts,
food, and all that kinda "stuff" down the front. The real purpose of
the seat belt then was of course to keep it from all falling out the
bottom.

The flight jacket/flight suit pocket plan works great once airborne with
pubs in hand. My problem is getting airborne with the proper pubs in the
proper cockpit! Too many years recently flying around Western Kansas
without any pubs whatsoever and 150 miles from the closest controlled
airspace!

We solved this problem with a leather zippered pouch made by Klein tools. The make tools for the electricians and you can purchase then at Lowes and Home Depot, along with all electrical contractor supply stores. The pouch is extremely well made with a heavy duty zipper and very reasonably priced. We attached ours to the left kick plate. It also works well to hold your change, wallet and keys while you fly inverted.
Also we solved the important paper (arrow) with the plastic zipper pouch that goes inside a three ring binder. They have a clear face so you can see what is in them. We attached this with Velcro on the "hat rack" behind the second seat on our 52.
Hope this is helpful.

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

Buy a "folio" bag from luggage / office products supplier. Perfect size. I
attached mine with large washers (strain relief), short bolts and locknuts
to side panel next to seat.
