Brief Description:  Pilot Seat Pad Velcro Install

Installed the velcro used to keep the seat pads from sliding around during cockpit entry/exit and flight. This was a simple enough task of attaching velcro to the forward edge of the seat. However, this was a challenging task in that the forward edge of the seat is also the top of the center wing spar. Luckily, it turns out that the middle of the center spar is "hollow" underneath where the wing spars slide into the fuselage. So theres a 1/2" gap between the spar cap and the structural portions of the wing spars. This is enough room to use rivets secure the velcro in place. So I measured a rivet line, cut some velcro strips, and rivetted them in place using rivets with washers on them to reduce the likelihood of tearing the velcro strip.
