Chapter 8      Shoulder support. Center keel, heat duct                                     Next     Home    Previous

 

 

              In this chapter the center keel / heat duct is completed, the seat back shoulder support and seat belt hard points

are  built and installed.  I didn't take enough pics in this chapter, most of this stuff was easy at this point in the build.

I did screw up one thing here,  one the shoulder support the plans have you install a nut plate under the longeron 

while you still have access to it. I was certain then (not  now) that I would use a tip up canopy so I didn't install it.

I know believe I will just go with the plans and use side hinges, for a couple of reasons. The main one being I want 

to fly this thing someday.

 

                             

                       Seat back brace with hard points for                                Heat duct & transition piece installed in tub.

Landing brake actuator. I also made a 

semi circular piece to use as a conduit 

for comm wires or lights the the top of 

the shoulder support. It runs down the 

back of the seat brace.
