A couple of  flight instructors have sat/ridden in my -10 and have 

remarked that I should consider installing an armrest on the inside of 

the door.  I've seen the center console solution but has anyone attached 

them to the door?

I was also considering something like this by bolding a armrest to the door using fiberglass layups.

give 'em a book or something else that takes two hands to do, and then tell them to install armrests in their airplane!  Oh - they're riding in yours!

Brian,



I don't have armrests, just some padding on the lower part of the door.

Also, I painted the upper part with texture paint, like truck bedliner.



Whatever I did, when it came back from upholstry with the new padding in

place, the strut wouldn't hold the door up all the time.  It's just heavy

eneough now to let it come slamming down if it's cold or in a gentle breeze.

I measured the strut force and it's fine--I  guess it's just a heavy door

now.



Both doors are virtually identical, but the left side stays up just fine.



So, be careful what you add to the door.

I just had an interior guy install arm rests on my  plane and what he did, which I thought was a good idea, was to installed a  couple of nut plates in the arm rest and then put an aluminum doubler on the  part  that mates up against the door panel. Then he made another  doubler for the opposite side of the door panel and ran the screws through that  piece into the arm rests nut plates.
