Brief Description: Front seat
|
|
This evening I began by doing a slight modification to my front seat -- I trimmed off the corners from the corrugations on the seat-back. This will eliminate any sharp edges from the seat skin that might rub on the back seat occupant's legs.
Next, I fabricated the F-832B and F-832D top and bottom seat angles, and the F-832E attach hinge.
I clamped, drilled, and clecoed the seat skin to the side rails, then drilled and clecoed on the bottom angle and attach hinge. (I had to re-make the hinge because, once again, Van's drawings depict the hinge eyes in the wrong place, just like they do on the bottom of the rear seat.)
Finally, I put the front floorboards in the fuselage and fitted the front seat in place. It all fits very well! It's almost time to climb in and make airplane noises...

The beveled edges of the seat corugations will be much more comfortable for passengers.

|
The front seat, installed! -- sort of.

Another view.
