Geoff,
Congratulation on your first flight. You can now take advantage of all
that hard work you've done. Boy you are really a talented guy. You did
it all, even the painting, and it's really a striking design.
Good luck with you fly off time.
Wayne Edgerton N602WT

Les... personally, i am glad i have 3M's Firewall Barrier. It sticks
much like proseal to me. It's much easier to use - just use a caulk gun.
The only negative is that it's silicone based, so I only intend to use
it where i never intend to apply paint.

To all of those builders that have yet to purchase their seat belts I
have a little info for you.
Some of you know I made my own belts by purchasing a few sets of Drifter
rotary release 4 point belts on eBay. They are dirt cheap as in under
$40.00 a set. I did have to do a little sewing but they worked out
exceptionally well. I had always planned to upgrade to a premium belt at
some point so I took the plunge and purchase a full set of Rotary
Release Hooker's with the air show 10% discount. This had them delivered
for ~$1,350.00. Yes expensive but top quality for sure. Unfortunately
they arrived in the wrong color so I sent them back. When the
replacements arrived I installed them with almost no problems (you have
to grind down and insert to the anchor end of each belt). They looked
great. They are however stiff, heavy and somewhat uncomfortable. Worst
of all the waistband adjustment mechanisms are too close to the
attachment point preventing them from opening to the point where I can
pull slack. This happens on both sides of the waist band as I have a
center console that also conflicts with the adjustment mechanism. The
rear seats are another story because I ordered the shoulder and lap
bands with pads which I assumed were removable. Unfortunately a fully
tight lap band for the rear seat is still larger than my 16-year-old
daughter's waste by about 4 inches. There is no way she can be safely
strapped in using those belts. It would probably be another story
without the lap pads. For me to correct this issue I will have to send
the seatbelts back again.
The tip I am offering comes in the form of the another brand of
seatbelts I happened to see on an RV-8. They looked different but every
bit as nice as the Hooker harnesses plus more comfortable for a fraction
of the price. The brand is called Crow Enterprises Inc. can be found at
this address: http://www.crowenterprizes.com/an online search for
pricing has the five way Rotary release selling for $140 to $155. They
sell the leaver release and belts for about half that price. This places
the Rotary release belts at a 50% discount to the discounted Hooker
belts.
I have attached a photo from the RV-8 for your review.
