Dec 17. Seat Details

I spent a couple hours fitting out the rest of the small but not insignificant pieces of both the front and rear seats with the help of my friend, Mike. Sorry I have no pictures. The front has three seats spread out over one big (eventual) 1/8" nylon rope weave. There is really just two side-by-side seats or one centerline seat, but that means fitting out three seat locations. Most of the work is putting in an addition back rail on the seat with slots for moveable plywood backrest a. These rests must be supported at an angle of 14 degrees and that entailed a 1 1/2" bevel cut the length of the assembled seat. I needed help with that one on the table saw. Mike played catcher. 

Pictures later. 

We did spend what I now realize was First Flight Day polishing a 1946 Cessna 140 that Mike is purchasing. Here are a couple pics of that. Dang! The thing looks better than new!
