After flying with it for awhile especially in rough air or doing acro you will feel naked if you forget to hook it up.... I could take a look at your bird too,. but I ain't flying to michigan until it warms up above 90F.... Might be awhile......ha!

Almost have the wings on. Trying to determine whether the triangle shaped bracket that I made for the 5th point seatbelt crotch strap attaches to the front or back side of the wing spar. The seatbelt bracket could go on either side. Its just that the bolts are somewhat difficult to get in and out so want to get it right the first time. Any one else used the center two spar bolts for the attach point for the crotch strap? Don't have the interior installed yet so its hard to determine at this point. Any advice?

I live in Canton, MI and fly out of YIP (Willow Run). You are welcome to come see it, or I could fly up one day, Bay City is not very far! -Mike Kraus N223RV RV-4 Flying N213RV RV-10 Empennage =============================================================== --------------------------------- ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:24:16 AM PST US From: "C.
