The shoulder harness will be shortened for most installations so the final weight will be slightly less. Simpson also sells a nice 2" webbing, 5 point belt set. P/N 29026(belts) and 31012(crotch strap) for about $75. The weight of this set would be much less. The Simpson logo stiched to the belt will come right off with a little help from your wife's thread ripper.

I could live in that plane if I got those items out of the way.

After all those looooooong flights in the airliners, I believe I have a solution for you. Actually, my brother-in-law came up with this. Say's when he wants to watch 8 or 10 hours of fooball on TV, he just gets a couple of six-packs and wears his Depends. Claims it works great! Easier than cutting a hole in the bottom of your beloved Rocket. ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 11:00:06 AM PST US From: "flyseaplane" Subject: Re: Rocket-List: Relief in flight! --> Rocket-List message posted by: "flyseaplane" Morocketman, I can't believe that you would mention Depends. That's not even funny. Your Brother-in-law is one twisted individual. There isn't a football game ever broadcasted worth peeing yourself. I Certainly hope you are not serious about anything you said. Perhaps a small venturi - the type used to run an old "needle-and-ball" turn indicator would work. They are very inexpensive and common as dirt.

(There are a LOT of planes that have greater endurance than me. That isn't the point of them-it is being able to have a choice as to where and when to fuel up. Fly in Alaska just a little, and it will be impressed on you just how important this can be.)
