Well I just couldn't stand it! I hope I don't regret it with future wiring and plumbing needs, but I finally caved in and installed at least one seat. I rivet the seat pan in place, installed the restraint system, and added the seat. This allowed for the very first person to sit in my plane, my sweet patient wife. She set in her seat and immediately started making airplane noises... well actually I had to correct her as she was making helicopter noises, but it's the thought that counts!! I really wanted to install my seat but the flap motor is under mine plus near future fuel and brake line plumbing. I will also need to run a few wires from the panel to aft of the seat bulkhead for the landing lights, nav/strobe lights, elevator trim, and batter cables. Still it was very exciting to sit in her seat after she left and make a few passes out of the sun on the Red Baron....
I'm not sure how the seat material actually needs to be affixed to the bulkhead so I've made a list of pesky questions to ask my good friend Valter. He is also a very patient person :-)
