Brief Description: Removed cabin, safety belts, pitot static

Marked additional cut lines on the back of the cabin, removed the two cabin halves. Used strings to measure seat and shoulder belt lengths then removed the seat pan. Located and drilled the holes for the static port and the pitot tube in the bottom of the cabin halves. Riveted the static port and pitot mount. Filled a few chips in the instrument pod and sanded the seam smooth. Enlarged the cabin openings above the lower frame tubes to make room for fuel lines and wires.
