Fabricated the stick boot rings - 2 hours

So one item that I've been delaying for quite some time was the stick boot rings. As usual like most things on the build is that it isn’t as bad as I thought.

I cut the required pieces of of some material I had sitting on the shelf. I then marked out the bend line, clamped them in the vice and bent the pieces by hand.


 

Next I drew reference lines on the plates and then set them on the seat pans and lined things up for the first holes. Drill and cleco!


 

Once it was all done, I then traced the control stick openings. I then found all of the center points to start drilling the radius corners of the cutouts.

 


I’ll cut these out tomorrow.
