hi list
i have read that some people are using a hing on the
arm rest cover and others (and plans) say to rivet it
together. It seems it would be stronger if riveted,
but if a hinge is useful, i would use it. seems that
in either case, access to the stick is adequate.

John: I used screws and nut plates to mount the armrest but I also moved the upper elevator turnbuckle to the rear of the plane at the upper elev horn to have easier access. I don't remember if the rudder turnbuckles were in the back in the plans but they are also on the horns on my xl. Much easier to safety wire it back there. Jack in Los Osos CA

John, remember you have to get in there to inspect, install safety wires,
adjust tension, annuals, etc. If it's riveted up how you going to do that without
drilling? I installed a couple short L angle pieces cross ways to strengthen
the console (I have duel control sticks) and hinged the top at the rear. Used
nut plates and screws to attach the lid top down. Works well and at 210 pds is
more than strong enough to stand on. Best regards, Bill of Georgia
