alan_k Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 After looking at the price of new cockpit bags / flight decks, I had a rummage around and found a money belt in a draw that hasn't been used for 18 years or more. I have 're-purposed' it as a flight deck holding my altimeter, radio, camera and GPS. All items have a safety lanyard attached. The black loop is to prevent droop in the middle when standing and during take off. I've fitted rings to each side of the harness at a suitable height so the whole lot just sits in my lap once seated. Any constructive criticism welcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Nice, thanks for sharing. Now looking for old money belt, I know we have one somewhere......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cianpars Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Haha, Ive got a couple of these lying about. Never even considered making a home made flight deck. There must be hundreds of ways to put a few odds and ends together to make one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I prefer my reserve in a side pocket where it does not get in the way. Having moved it there, I found that the lid off the then defunct front mount Gin reserve holder was ideal as an instrument panel! Sadly I sold it with my machine! Now got a money belt!
