Cockpt Pilot Armrests & Throttle Quadrant



Created template for the cockpit armrests, throttle quadrant, and switch panel.  Templates were cut from scrap cardboard and fitted into the cockpit prior to disassembling and matching for sheet metal cuts.

Once each side's armrest was carefully fitted, the sheet metal was cut, bent, drilled, and riveted for plate nuts.  After hours of fitting, cutting, fitting, filing, and fitting again, we finally had a semi-finished product ready for paint and wiring.
