RLCarter Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Interested in drink holders as well, having manual gear kinda limits things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxrpilot Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 I mounted one of these using velcro to the right side of the center console... the one that divides the pilot and co-pilot foot wells... I can get a picture next time I'm at the hangar. But I basically put it down at floor level. The co-pilot has to be careful if its in use, but when not in use it's folded up. And it's super easy to use when solo. https://www.amazon.com/Camco-44044-Adjustable-Drink-Holder/dp/B000EDQR4G/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=cup+holder&qid=1560960402&s=gateway&sr=8-4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxrpilot Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Here's a couple of pictures. I like these pen holders. I have one on the panel just below the JPI and one on the lower center console. You can also see the cup holder on the lower right side, folded up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lithium366 Posted June 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 @gsxrpilot Ah these are are nice pen holders! Thank you for an idea. Are these happen to be similar to https://www.amazon.com/Penpal-Rubber-Pencil-Holders-Inches/dp/B0131M54EA/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=sticky+pen+holder&qid=1560962793&s=gateway&sr=8-3 ? Very nice panel, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, those are the ones. A couple of years ago, I reached out to the manufacturer because I only wanted Black. The minimum order was 25. I sold them all off to various members here on MooneySpace. Unfortunately I don't have the details, but I remember they went quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 I use these, from wally world to hold pens: Like this on the right side; mine is on the pillar between windshield and window: There's two in the Mooney, one on each side; one on the dash of my truck; at home, one on my band saw and one on my wood lathe. Easy to find, inexpensive and very, very functional. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steingar Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) I've cupholders in mine, but coffee is verboten in my aircraft. The coffee stains on the headliner are evidence enough of what a good idea that is. I'll try and post up photos. I didn't do the mod.

exM20K Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 @gsxrpilot Paul, doesn't the O2D2 get hot sitting above the heat inlet like that? My 231 could toast marshmallows when the heater was on. I'm still trying to find a semi-permanent place for the unit, which is much more difficult with the ceiling-mounted O2 ports. -dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Sorry, can't help with a coffee holder--in the plane, that's just my bladder. Cold drinks, in recloseable plastic bottles, stand up between the seats [oh, the joy of electric gear!]. But here's a nice organizer for when the right seat is empty, otherwise it lives in the back seat with the shoulder strap over the seatback. Sorry, the picture's a little old, the giant Sporty's radio is no more . . . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when I do have it on, it's just barely cracked open. The O2D2 is only mounted there using velcro so it's easy to move. I'd like a better place for it as well, but that's the best place I've found for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lithium366 Posted June 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 I am thinking of getting this one: https://www.amazon.com/KMMOTORS-Ultra-Pocket-Organizer-Pockets/dp/B01C33ANJ4/ref=mp_s_a_1_85?keywords=organizer+for+car&qid=1560868717&s=gateway&sprefix=organizer+for+car&sr=8-85 I have an electric gear and hope it will go in between seats or I can velcro it to the side of a center panel if I feel that trim wheel has a restricted access. Will post pictures once it is in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrixxer Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) I have this between the seats; there's a pocket for a beverage up front (and "outside" the main pocket, a pouch for a flashlight), a "big" pocket for notepads, whatever, and then on one side mesh pockets for an iPhone (perfect size), pen loops, etc.: http://flying-geek.blogspot.com/2018/04/pirep-between-seats-storage-for-mooney.html I also have an X-Naut cooling mount for my iPad RAM mounted to the yoke, and to the side of that I have a stylus holder (I use the ForeFlight scratch pad for ATIS, CRAFT, etc): http://flying-geek.blogspot.com/2018/06/stylus-holder.html (so far, I've gone through one; they seem to last about a year before they stretch out to the point of not holding pens good). For coffee, it's always in a Contigo mug. They do. not. leak. I also lug around, in a side pocket of my flight bag, a Camelbak Eddy, which is also basically spill-proof (if you bite down on the straw at 12,000' after filling it up at sea level, you're gonna have a bit of a surprise...).

DonMuncy Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Wally world also has the pencil holders, but in colors; not black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yetti Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Pens USB cables, spare batteries, go in the seat pockets on the leading edge of the seats. I also found a similar to this and it is in front of my seat that has bottles of water and note pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have that Camelbak Eddy bottle, it surprizes everyone also in a hot day in a car or when I drive in mountains at 5000 feet. I can’t even imagine what will happen at 12k. When I am around people I usually slightly unscrew it first to release the pressure update: mine is Contigo but the idea is the same (sorry, image came up rotated from my phone) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0TreeLemur Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 The prior owner installed this small satchel using two of the screws that hold the plastic window liner in place just above and forward of the pilot's left hand arm rest. It is a handy place to keep sunglasses/readers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
