Forming the seat

As we looked at what we wanted to accomplish this summer, it seems one
thing kept leading to anoher thing that had to be done first. To
cover the wing, the tanks have to be done and the brake lines need to
be installed. To install the brake lines, I need to install the
pedals. To install the pedals, I need to be able to sit on the seat
and install the pedals at the right distance. This brought us to the
seat.

We made a few foam ribs to roughly the shape we thought the seat
needed to be and sat on them I the plane. The position seemed good,
so we
Ade more ribs and formed the top ofthe seat from 1/2" foam. We
thought that using liquid nail to adhear the ribs and the seat top
would be a good quick solution. Wrong. It took a whole day to dry.
Here is the seat ready to be trimmed and covered with fiberglass.
Most. Of the rib will be cut away when the bottom is fiberglassed.
