It would be really nice to have an armrest between the front seats in my
Traveler. I've looked online and the only production item I've seen is a
silly-looking contraption from Aircraft Spruce in which the pilot
actually sits on a cross piece to support the armrest in place. Looks
ridiculous, I can't imagine it works very well.
Has anyone ever seen, made, designed or otherwise experienced any sort
of permanent or semi-permanent armrest for our Grummans?

Never heard of anyone doing that before, but I suppose it could be done by
attaching some structure to the side of the seatpan. There really isn't any
other structure to attach it to and still be able to remove the center
plastic console. It could get in the way of operating the elevator trim
possibly. Probably would need to get a field approval.

Thanks for the response, Cliff.
I'm not very mechanically inclined, so I don't own any tools other than
the phone book.
Take a look at this product, if you will:
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/pspages/portablearmrest.php
Do you think this could be motified to attach to the seatpan?
Would you be interested in designing an arm rest for our Grummans in
your spare time? :)

That is generally the idea, although I think it would need to be attached on
the side of the seat pan, do the rivets where the aft hinge bracket is
attached AND also forward on the seat pan. It would probably need a jog
toward the center to clear the seat upholstery. But the slot and vertical
adjustment would be a good idea. I think you would have to fabricate a
custom bracket out of .063 aluminum plate possibly for it to work properly
and the seat to move throughout it's total travel capacity without the
armrest interfering with anything. Not really a small project and certainly
not cheap if you have to pay someone to do it.

"Not really a small project and certainly

My Traveler is apart right now for annual. Maybe a good time to see if
something like you describe could be done. If enough people liked the
idea, maybe costs could be spread out...
Thanks for your thoughts on the matter, Cliff.

Bob,
You might find that a canine would suite your needs.
It should be sized so as to just be lodged between the seats yet tall enough,
whie lodged, to take just the right amount of weight off your arm. In addition
you should select the proper metabolism so that the armrest is heated yet doesn't
stink too much. Also consider whether you'd like an upholstry comparable
to lambswool or perhaps something less bulky. Once the 'right' model is selected
then you can justify spending $ on flying with your armrest by joining that
club Ron Levy is in....something about saving poor canines fom destruction thru
making mercy flights...

When flying alone, I push the seat back on the co-pilots seat and rest my ar
m on that. =C2-But, you have the goofy seats that pivot near the front so
that won't work. =C2-
I'm not familiar with any arm rest for the middle.
