Model B kit changes

[Mark Goldberg]

I am not sure if this has been posted before. But the most recent batch of Model B four place kits has two modifications that came from the Model 5.

First, each front seat now has four roller bearings that it slides on - like the Model 5. You can sit in the seat, pull up the pin. and slide the seat forward or back. Previously moving the seat was most always done while you were outside the plane.

Second, the flap handle is now like the Model 5 - up off the floor a little and easier to grab.

Both these are incremental, running changes as Bob refers to them. Both good. Mark

Out of interest, we've always been able to move our 4-place seats while we're sitting in them. They run nicely with a tiny amount of lubrication.
