Recently the factory has changed the Model B four place kit to include two of the design features Bob tried on the Model 5. The two changes are the seats and the flap handle position.
After the first four kits were made, the Model 5 got seats with four roller bearings inside the channels/tracks. The seats move more easily than previously. One Model B kit has already been delivered with the new seat system. This next batch of Model B kits will all have the new seat system.
The Model 5 has the flap handle up off the floor. In the last couple days the factory tried this out on the Model B per Bob's drawing and with a little tweaking worked out fine. So all future production kits of the Model B will have these two refinements. Not anything tremendously different but just small improvements from what we learned on the Model 5. Mark
