Added a center console and armrest for my RV-12iS. Replaces the factory flap motor cover/cup holder. Provides a fair amount of storage with two padded covers that also function as an armrest.

Also replaced the twill carpet seat cushions with genuine naugahyde.

Yes, my own design. I had seen an RV-12 on aircraft.com that had a smaller and shorter console. After googling for a COTS console, it suddenly occurred to me to just build one! An A&P on my field offered tips and use of his brake and shear.

Looking good! Cup holders would fit nicely in the front of that console.

This is awesome. Can you please share the dimensions and build instructions. Happy to contribute.
 
did you make those side panels too? I want side panels for my 7A tipper, but I can't spend $3,500 for the Classic Aero ones, as much as I want to get those ready to go beauties.
