Hi Gang
I just replaced my center stick with a set of dual sticks. I received the 3 pages of dual stick drawings from zenith with the kit, what I did not get was a drawing for the different side fairing and fuel selector panel area.
Is there a different drawing of this side panel to allow for the cutout of the duel stick. I see lots of pictures/ photos of the QB kits with it and the parts catalog shows the larger side panel on 6-XN-24.
its the weekend and so I cannot ring the factory and ask? Was I missing something?? My original plans just show the old side fairing and old center console on page 6-K-2 Do I need to ask for something different

Chris,
I had the same problem. I had already made the console shown on the
drawings, but, of course, that one won't work with the dual sticks.
There was no drawing, so I just made one that works for me. I can send
photos if you want. Just ask.

yes please,
photos would be great, measurements around the duel stick area would be even better?. I wonder why Zenith don't have this as a drawing since it is what is on the QB kits..

Chris,
I have attached photos and drawings of my center console.
The first photo is the console that came with my kit, which doesn't
work with dual sticks.
I actually made two more console panels, but this is the final one,
.025" 6061-T6 (would be better with 0.32").
The drawings are in two parts because it is larger than a letter-size
piece of paper. The match line should be exactly 10" long for correct
scale.
I may someday figure out how to make fuller side panels to hide some of
the miscellaneous "stuff" under there. None of it is in the way, but
it looks cluttered in the photos.
Let me know if you have questions.

thanks Jay all received ok..
Hey I noticed you have the fiberglass air duct as well. Did you make the cutout in the skin for the Naca duct as per the plans with straight lines, or did you make it curved like a tear drop as per the fiberglass part?
Just wondering which is best for airflow.
Chris.

Chris,
I think I plotted the straight lines, radiused the inside corners about
1/4" and just slightly rounded the outside corners. I only did the
rounding to prevent cracks and/or stress risers. I know the published
requirements for NACA ducts are pretty specific and highly technical.
I would take a lot more care if I thought I might be going supersonic.
However....
