Brief Description:  Seat test

Decided it was time to install and try out a seat. When I continue rigging the controls, I will need to decide comfortable positions and travel, and to do that, I will need to sit in the plane like I am flying. So I opened up one of the cushion sets in the Zenith upholstery kit. I also had to slightly enlarge the backrest peg holes and take off the powder coating from the pegs to get the backrest to fit. The backrest cushion was easy, it just slips over the frame. The bottom cushions are a bit more interesting. There are three half snaps attached to a flap on the bottom. The obvious intent is that they attach to corresponding snap halves on the bottom of the seat pan. I may just use velcro instead since I seem to remember those being loose every time I went to adjust the seat in the Zenith demonstrator. The back of the bottom cushion has a smaller flap with no attachments. Not sure what the intent is there, but I'll probably velcro that as well.

With the pilot seat in place, it obviously needed to be tested, so for the 1st time I gave into temptation and sat in the seat and made airplane noises, and generally tried to imagine working the controls and panel in flight.
