| Subject: | Re: Control Column Boot |
Well, a boot (with NZ roots) is born :)
Not as nice as the leather version from Tim but since I am not a seamster by trade
I think I did OK. I bought a Singer Heavy Duty 4411 (not industrial) machine
that was relatively inexpensive a while back with hopes of doing my seats (not
sure anymore that I want to do something like that but the machine is always
handy to have around) and got a walking foot attachment which seems to be useful
particularly when sewing the velcros.
I made a fence that I will bond to the floor (avoid doing any layups inside the
airplane anymore if I can).
Made it out of the thinnest and most stretchy vinyl fabric I could find. Have not
installed it yet but will report when I do.
Thanks for the sample Tim. It really helped getting this done relatively quick.
Best,
Chris

Hi Chris,
Well done. Looks good and fibreglass fence essential. Velcro makes it easy t
o inspect control column universal on annual inspection, by simply shifting b
oot up the column.
Cheers,
Tim
