I am looking at Van's and others for Seat Belts and Harnesses. Nothing in
archives about the Tuf Tow belt vendor that Vans lists in the catalog.
Anyone had good service with Tuf Tow? Others?

Fellow RV-7/8/9/10 builders,
I need to get some feedback from all of you RV7/8/9/10 builders out there. As some of you know I am in process of developing innovative solutions to help RV builders (http://www.experimentalaero.com/ )I am getting final pricing on the Modular Tie Down System (MTDS-1) and I need feedback on pricing.
The MTDS-1 (http://www.experimentalaero.com/MTDS-1.htm) is a tie down system that uses custom quick release pins and flush mount anchors in the floor, side and back of the baggage bay. With multiple anchor points the owner can configure the tie downs to fit their cargo needs. Since the anchors are flush, the unused anchor points won't interfere with the cargo, boxes can sit flush on the floor and softer baggage won't get hung up. Installation is quick and easy, no special tools required.
The homebuilt/experimental market doesn't command high volumes. In tern it is very
difficult to get volume discounts from vendors. Which means the higher cost
gets passed to the customer. In order for a product to be successful it must
fulfill a need and be priced right. I need to get an understanding from fellow
builders and possible customers how much you would pay for the MTDS-1. I plan
on offering it as single quick release pins, single flush anchors, webbing and
buckles. I believe the common configuration would be two strap assemblies (webbing/buckle
with two release pins) and 6 anchors. This system would cost between
$75-100. What is the maximum amount you would pay for this functionality.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Paul

Larry,
If you are going to do any aerobatics at all may I suggest you try Hooker
Harnesses. Additionally, if you plan to ever have a sudden stop may I firmly
recommend a 5 point harness. The central point is very important to prevent
"submarining". This is you slipping under the seat belt of a 4 point harness
and suffering ankle injury as your feet slide into the firewall, or groin
injury as your favourite bits of anatomy are impaled on the stick.
This data comes from some analysis of otherwise survivable crashes in
Australia.
I just took delivery of my 5 point harness from Hooker and must say its very
robust looking, and far tougher than what I see in Piper and Cessna
products. The price was very competitive against all but the very flimsy
airline passenger seat style of belts, and certainly cheaper than anything I
could get in Australia.
Regards, David Francis, VH-ZEE, Canberra, Australia

Can anyone comment on installing 5 point seat harness if floors are pop
riveted down already per the building manual?
