I am trying to make a 'boot' for my center stick 601XL. So far I have twice failed to visualize the right pattern and am wasting good vinyl. Does anybody have a flat pattern they can take a picture of that might help me? I just downloaded a pattern off the Matronics archives that could work, but it is for the HD center console which has a different outline.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I used craft paper to mock up a stick boot for my plane. Once I got a
configuration that worked, I used it as a pattern to cut out the
leather for the final part. I basically made a rectangular pyramid
with the base the same size as the stick opening. The left and right
sides are equilateral triangles. I left tabs of material at the bottom
for attaching the boot. I split the pyramid down the center of the
front side leaving extra material to allow for a hem. I punched holes
on each side of the seam up the front center for leather lacing. I
also rolled down the material at the top around the stick to give a
smooth edge.

Here's a rough sketch of what I started with. I don't recall the exact
dimensions I ended up with.

Thanks,

Now I will have something to do when I get back from Oshkosh. This is a more empirical approach than the guess and cut method that failed me twice.

Thanks,

I plan on being at Oshkosh most of the week. I will probably park the
plane in front of homebuilt HQ. The sketch I sent is just a rough
sketch from memory, the dimensions may need some adjustment. N61BM has
a polished aluminum finish.
