 |
|
I'm just finishing up a center console project that I thought I'd share.
After enjoying some of the high altitude capabilities of the '10 when
out west last year, I wanted to be able easily carry oxygen for high
flying and geezer revival as needed.
The solution was a center console with a tank in it. A tank and console
that could be easily removed when desired.
One design point involved space. We've become very accustomed to
having unobstructed room between the seats and didn't really want to
give that up. So whatever went in there needed to have the smallest
profile possible while still holding the tank and acting as an arm
rest. An it still needed to be easily removeable.
The build is documented here:

(ignore the two 1/16/2013 items - I can't figure out how to delete them)
I've only flown with it once and it seems to be working great -
especially the iPad RAM mount. More testing this weekend.

Bill that looks like a great execution of your design goals. Nice job. It
also looks like a hell of a lot of work!!

Geeez, Bill.
It looks great, but you must be some kind of masochist.

This is what one might face as a former builder. I'm enjoying the flying... a lot.... but the shop is all warmed up and I still feel the need to build.
