Cloth Side Panels

The side panels are fashioned from poster board, ( from art supply’s or "Staples" ) and a 1/4 fiber filler, and a cloth of choice.

The layers of cloth, fiber filler and a cloth backing are all glued with 3M adhesive spray.

If you don't have skills for sewing things, this might be the time to have female input. I bet you could get this done for a night out on the town, you know, dinner and stuff.

After gluing all the materials together, I then sewed the seam lines to match the full size cockpit panels. I used tape to guide the seam lines.

I did a test fit by taping the panels in place and then trimmed the sides of the seat tray to seat on the mounts.

I then made a map pocket and mounted it to the side panel. The pocket has a copper wire at the top edge so I can shape it.
