Seats and Cushions

A milestone was reached with the seats today.  We riveted the aluminum seat bottoms and backs to the seat frames.  Then we set the seat cushions in place so that we could try them out.

Finally, we hopped in and gave it a go.  Found out that the seats are nice and comfy.  The right pilot's seat doesn't adjust smoothly when sliding it up or back, so we have a little adjustment to do there yet.  Here's a picture of the builders sitting in the cockpit for the first time, with smiles on our faces.  I may have made airplane noises, but won't admit it publicly.  (Hours:  0.8)
