Two layers of BID used to make the map pocket.

Before mounting the map pockets over the brake lines, I put micro around them so there would be a smooth transition over the brake lines. This will make it easier to remove items from the pockets as there is less chance of items hanging up on the brake lines when they are being removed.

Step 2 - Front Armrests

The arm rests are real "fiddly" structures. The top of them are easy to make. The one inch vertical piece used to clear the aileron torque tube is easy. The angled piece which goes from the bottom of the 1 inch vertical piece to the side of the fuselage is real fiddly. I have spent several hours using cardboard templates trying to get it correct. The problem is the side of the fuselage curves and the width of the armrest changes. Also, you must contend with the angled seatback. Making a piece to fit this area and look good has been challenging.

Step 3 - Front Seat Thigh Supports

The thigh supports are really easy and fun to make. Start out by making the ribs which attach to the fuselage floor. Then the thigh supports are cut to size and fiberglassed on one side. Horizontal saw cuts are made through the foam to the fiberglass. These saw cuts allow the thigh support to be shaped to the ribs. The saw cuts are filled with micro and fiberglassed with two plys of BID.

The plans have the thigh supports made after the ribs are installed in the plane. However, I didn't feel like bending over the fuselage side to work on the fuselage bottom, so I decided to make them on the bench. It was much easier. The pieces are held together with hot melt glue while the fiberglass cures.

Step 4 - Rear Seat Armrests

The rear armrests were much easier to make. I guess the practice we had making the front seat armrests paid off.

The armrests are made with one ply of BID on the inside and two plies of BID on the outside.

The foam for the rear seat armrests are shown at the bottom of the picture.

The forward part of the rear seat armrests will be between the back of front seat and the airleon torque tube support. I wanted a good attachment to the torque tube support for both the forward and aft portions of the armrests so I removed the foam on the forward part. When the aft portion is put in place, it will fit over the cutout portion of the foward piece.
