I purchased a quick pin from West Marine. Be careful to mount it so the
head doesnt interfere with the seat pan.

I found a "Wright Brothers" book at one of the big book stotres on sale for
about 8 or 10 bucks and I am having a hard time laying it down. There is a
lot of stuff in it that is not normally pictured or told about. The book I
have is was from the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. It was a Barnes and
Nobles poor sellers that normally went for about $35. It has about 100 or
more photos.
I will have to look for "To Conquer The Air". Another place that is full of
Great information is a Glenn Curtiss website. I ran across it doing a search
for the Great Aerodrome, which was built by Langley but rebuilt and flown by
Glenn Curtiss. It looks dangerous.
Off the Glenn Curtiss site there are some good links to The Wrights and
others. Also do a search and look at some of the Sikorsky stuff. Some one
put up a Sikorsky website way back in the late eighties or early nineties. I
was new to the internet then and I thought that website was just
fantastic....
