Brief Description:  seat strengthing

1) Durring the last bit of building I noticed that my weight was detrimental to the .025 metal of the seat, and was deforming too much when I was seated (HA!). Yeah, yeah, too much pork on the butt!!

However, there is always a way around things.

2)I used 1x1 6061-t6 angle and added these supports from the spar tunnel edge to just under the rear spar carrythru, as I have the lowered seat option installed.
Great care had to be taken so as to not interfeer with control rod motions.

3) closeup of spar end of the 1x1's, showing the overlap that sits on top of the tunnel.

Overall, this seems to make for a very nice strudy seat which facillitates ingress and egress doe to stiffening. Actual sitting dosent seem to be impared at all. No stiffening was done to the back of the seat.
