The control stick in the passenger section has been cut.  If you plan on installing controls in the passenger section, simply construct the storage compartment a little narrower so as not to interfere with the forward movement of the stick.

Wanting to install a larger instrument panel I couldn't put the brake lever on the stick so I added a 1" tube on the left side of the seat.  Not satisfied with the throttle and cable set up I received in the kit, I made my own.  Hand slides off the throttle and onto the brake.

I could tell by just sitting in the plane that this area was going to be a problem for me.  I'm wider then I am tall so this was my answer to the sore legs rubbing against the tubes and rivets.

After seeing the wear and tears on a 10 yr. old Challenger and the nicks and scratches already on mine I figured a little wear guard wouldn't hurt.

A little scrap material from a local upholstery shop cost very little.  I cut the strip down to 2 1/2" wide the length of the side rail.

While riveting in place keep pulling material to keep it tight against the rail.  This should also keep it from flapping in the wind

Not too bad!  Maybe i'm in the wrong business
