So I will offer a better description, the outside seat rails have notched tracks where the pin on the t-handle engages to hold the seat in position. On the aft end of the notched piece there is a stop that keeps the seat from sliding off the back of the rails. It is a stop that the pin from the t-handle hits if you lift up the handle and slide the seat all the way aft. The stop is held on with two AN-4 bolts, the plans call for nuts to be installed under the seat pan. Instead of using nuts we installed nut-plates. So by removing the two bolts the rear stop can be removed, then just lift up on the handle and slide the seat off the rail.

Wish I'd thought about that when I was building. I'm going to take a look next time the seat is out and see if I can perhaps retrofit. -------- David Maib RV-10 #40559 Transition Trainer New Smyrna Beach, FL Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=396376#396376 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 10:45:13 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Bill's polar flight - not RV related From: "AirMike" Is this cool or what? Bill is a VERY Daring fellow. Note that he is flying out over the Atlantic, not much of a back up plan there if the engine quits. We must pray that all of his equipment holds together over Antarctica. Even this month it is very cold down there on the plateau of the South Pole.

I saw a couple of his posts on the LML while he was building and it really seemed like he planned very, very well. But, like you said, he's depending on that airplane like very few people do. Impressive, to say the least. Dave Saylor 831-750-0284 CL do not archive On Sat, Mar 16, 2013 at 10:44 PM, AirMike wrote: > > Is this cool or what? Bill is a VERY Daring fellow.
