Wing Mounting Prep - Passenger Seats
TLDR
- Installed Passenger Seat into the Fuselage
Details
Preparing the wing amount, another piece of work that I’ve done is installing the passenger seats. I want to do this as the seat is super bulky. I worry it might be difficult to install when the wings are attached.
Without the wings for now, carrying the seat into the cockpit was a non-issue.
However, installing the safety belts with the seats in place is a huge challenge. From the pic above, you can see the safety belts are just hanging on the side. They need to thread through a hole carved out on the seat, which means the belt’s attachment anchor bolt must be removed for the belt to feed through the hole, then anchor bolt re-tightened.
The space for working on the anchor bolt on either side of he passenger seat is small, especially on the right hand side. It’s right behind the parachute rocket box, completely hiddeen and barely reachable.
Undoing/redoing the bolt was about 90% of the whole work. I cannot wait to do this again for the annual /s
