This box protects the base of my stick, it is fixed by 4 small screws to allow its possible removal.

During a flight I dropped a pencil on the floor, he came to position between the vertical wall of the seat and the stick, My stick no longer had complete mobility.

This box also allows me to close the opening so that the warm air of the cabin heater leaves in the fuselage. I clogged the 3 openings on the vertical partition of the seat and put seals on the doors, now my heating is efficient.

To the right of the stick, I made a box to store the administrative documents of the plane and the pilot.

Mr. Rubio! Many, many thanks for photos documenting your persistence and excellent ideas. You realize, yes? That "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," so I intend to imitate many of your ideas, beginning with the flap handle. Query: do you know of the "beanie mod" for the roof window? The flat per-plans window allows airflow stall at landing which tumbles air back to the tail, stalling it prematurely.

Best wishes!

Thank you, I can assure you that it was very very unpleasant to have his stick limited in his movements. If the object had another shape, it could have blocked my stick with serious consequences.

As you have noticed the space between the floor and the stick is limited and is unprotected.

Cordially
Guy
