wrapping this one up. a rugged between the legs folding cup holder for the spar forward cover. it can support a 32 lb coffee cup and bounce right back if screw mounted. if 3M Dual Lock mounted it will support a 24 lb coffee cup before the dual lock fails. you can even kick it. when you have fat old guys climbing in small planes, it needs to be rugged around the feet. very nice but will be expensive for a cup holder. what's the point in doing something well if it is too expensive for most people? well, I'll tell you, it is the simple fact that it can be done. perhaps someone in the future will make one that is less expensive. moving on to something else....

folding cup holder .... testing. the cup holder was folded when I boarded the aircraft, and I did not notice it and had even forgotten about it. so boarding is not a factor for me with the cup holder folded. the white bottle is taller, and I noticed it slightly on the bottom of my right leg but it was not a factor. I did not notice the green water bottle at my leg because it is slightly shorter. both bottles and the cup were within easy reach. folding and unfolding is easily done when flying. upon aircraft departure I forgot to fold it and bumped it with the heel of my shoe. that was not a problem because it was designed for that event, it is very rugged. overall, I was very happy with it.

another goal was to soften three weeks of bugs and put the aircraft down for condition inspection. 105 hours on this oil but I found some "stuff" in the oil suction screen. I will cut the filter tomorrow after it drains.
