Mounting the seat

I took the seat to work to weigh it (4.062lb) and got a great suggestion to use hose-clamps to mount the seat to the cross-tubes. My initial thought was to put one at each end of the aft seat tube to provide best support.  However, those locations would have interfered with the control cables, so I went with a single clamp in the center. 

After cutting out the first slots and test mounting the seat, I marked the locations for the shoulder and seat-belts.  Those slots were cut with the Dremel using a burr and cleaned with a sanding drum.  The edges were generously rounded to prevent sharp edges from cutting the seat-belt (that will be an area of inspection).

After all that, here's the seat mounted.  Yippee, onward to the next thing.

Seat:

• DONE seat mold body work
• DONE finish the seat mold
• DONE pull a seat from the mold
• DONE mount the seat to the nose

Nose:

• change control stick axis bolt to drilled with cotter pin (will have to remove the torque tube)
• aileron crank tube slots
• sidewalls in forward nose section (G4N13) 
• make a nose skid (G4N10)

Tail:

• AN3-26A bolt into the forward line guide bracket, replacing a rivet (G4T14)
• swage aft cables (4x remaining) 
• round off the tail skid to be more roundy than pointy

Cabanes:

• new cabane aft tubes with sleeves
• cabane compression braces (some are loose after the cabane rework from G3 to G4 design)

Wing:

• glass the ribs to LE and TE
• stiffener for aileron control line 
• leading edge shell (G4S9)

Control surfaces:

• glass the right aileron ribs
• flip fwd aileron control horn bolt to other direction ... and switch to AN3-13
• rivet aileron crank tube to trailing edge (G4S4)

Miscellaneous:

• wrap every pulley with tape and heat shrink to hold stiff and straight
• threadlock on every quick-link
• DONE neoprene eyebolt spacer: horizontal stab (G4T8), elevator control arm (G4T16), tail strut (G4T19)
• check every quick pin for elastic retainers are both present and correct length (several are just singles)

Buy list:

• DONE 1" wide fiberglass tape (I ran out on the aileron, also needed for the ribs to LE/TE joint)
• DONE (1x) AN3-26A for fwd tail line guide (G4T14)
• DONE (2x) AN3-13 for aileron fwd control linkages
• nose skid plastic plate
• covering and adhesive
• (1x) 1/8" SS quick-link
