OK, Maybe I'm missing something here but I have one of "those" questions. Before
you ask, I did a search but turned up nothing useful.
Looking at the XL cockpit, I'm wondering what others have done to deal with the
wide gap behind the seat back? Do you build some kind of stiffening into the
seat cushion or?
I was thinking of spanning the gap with some 0.016 or 0.025 held in position by
screws and nutplates. Comments?

Hi Tim
My seat back cushion is made of, I think, 3/8" plywood. Works great.

Hi Tim,
I made seat backs from plywood - 1/4 inch Nordic Birch, I think. Each
seat back is held in place with 4 screws and nut plates.
I don't think you want to seal up the big hole between the baggage cross
piece and the one on the fuselage bottom. Access is necessary to get to
the aileron cables and other stuff that winds up back there like radio
antennas. I also have a bunch of electric barrier blocks to connect all
the stuff in the rear to the instrument panel. This includes stuff like
trim switches on the stick, radio transmit key, lights, and I don't know
what else. I used barrier blocks from Radio Shack mounted on bent
aluminum pieces.
