Brief Description:  Rear Seat Part 7

After a number of non-airplane related issues being resolved, I'm finally back in the shop! The first order of business is to try to figure out the best way to build the back seat. I wanted to jig it in place, but that poses a number of problems that may be resolved by doing most of the framing out of the fuselage. I decided to build the whole thing on the table, minus the back legs. Since the position of the seat is fixed and has to be right on the money to even fit, I thought that the best course to follow is to build the whole thing, minus the back legs and then install it. Once it's in, I can set the height of the bottom aft tube and then cut and fit the back legs.to length and tack them in place. We'll see how it works, but I thought about this for quite a while and for me this seems like the most logical route.

One thing about the seat back is it tapers down toward the bottom a bit, so I took that into consideration when jigging the tubes.
