plangley Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 I've already mentioned that "7. armrests" are already available as retrofits, albeit at c. $400 per armrest. Pointless voting on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavePilot Posted June 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Understand your point, But some may be interested in where "interior upgrades" like "better armrests" fit into the overall ranking and SC community interest.... If folks think that "no vote is required on better armrests", I am ok with it. An easy out is for no one to input a vote on item 7 "better armrests". And of course if only one person votes for "better armrests", it will go to the bottom part of the ranked list. I tried hard to not "cancel" anyone's idea, and ALL ideas will get submitted for review by US SPORT and CAW. Some ideas were variations of the same idea, for example SEVERAL design choices on the "improved canopy latch", so I covered these variations over in the comments section of the file. the voting process includes ONLY voting for your TOP 5 most wanted items... Personally, I wouldn't spend $800 for two armrests....no matter HOW GOOD they are.... D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnM Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 $800? Not in this lifetime. I dont have them and dont think they would be of any use for me given how my left arm rests in my lap while I'm flying. My LAP was free as it was "standard equipment" on my person and it didn't cost anything. I just spent that "arm rest" money a second Zulu 2 headset for my non-pilot passengers and I know I'll get way more use out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
