Seems like sitting in a 601 is like sitting in an armchair with one arm missing. I'm wondering if anyone has designed flip-up armrests, or might know of a KISS/Lightweight hinge suitable for such application, with a "lock in the up position" feature?

If you go with dual sticks, the outboard arm does not need a rest. It rests on your outboard thigh while operating the control stick. The inboard arm rests on the center console as needed.
There isn't a lot of extra room width-wise in the 601XL cockpit but that being said, I'm sure you could rig something salvaged from the front seats of a wrecked SUV if you feel motivated to do that. It would probably be more necessary with the single center stick.

In the 80 or so hours I've spent in my plane I've never noticed this phenomenon. 16 of those hours were in two 8-hour days. I suspect this is something you notice on the ground, but not while flying. There's plenty to do with those arms when you're flying.

Robin, before you go ahead and make your armrests, sit in your UPHOLSTERED seat and read a very large book( I read Da-Vinci Code). You will find two answers, your seats are, or are not comfortable and secondly you will never use armrests, thirdly you have no way of peeing into a cup or bottle J. I understand your thought process, but it is spawned from not having spent time in the seat.
Sorry Guys , I had to add the pee thinnggy again!!!

I'm going to put a pop-up pisser in my plane that then empties to a tank that can then be evacuated through a small tube that extends behind the rudder. 
Maybe I'll just make my seats out of two toilet seats, that way I don't ahve to worry about stopping to use the bathroom, and as a bonus I can use the toilet paper roll as an armrest.
Now I just have to decide if I want padded seats, or the clear ones with pennies embedded in them.
