Net/Orma, I need to make a correction to what I had written about widening the Kr. I had stated that I cut out the section from the top logerons down to the top of the stub wings between the spars. What I did was sit in the Kr prior to making an insicion in order to determine what was a comfortable location for the arm rest. Once I had my arm in the position I wanted. I used a magic marker to outline the bottom of my arm and elbow. That is the section I cut out along with all truss members at that point allowing an extra 5/8 and 1/4 inch for build back. This allowed the arm rest to slope from my elbow up toward the instrument panel and put in side sticks. With the arm rest narrow/low at the elbow and higher/wider at the side sticks. You would be surprised how much extra room that gives you by getting the elbows and shoulders out of the way on each side. I did the side sticks because I had the arm rests anyway and felt I might have a little extra control with a very stable platform for my arm as opposed to resting my arm/elbow on my knee. If you deside to do this just make sure you get the top of the arm rests high enough to clear your knees but wide enough for the side stick control movements should you choose to go to the side sticks.
