  • B Model - Rear Seat Belt Attachment Points

    Those of you building a 4 Place B Model, where are you attaching your rear seat belts? I have attachment points for the front seats, not seeing anything for the rear bench seat. I will be using 4 point harnesses.

    The seat belts attach to the seat. There is an alternative in that there is a horizontal bushing in a tubing cluster right there where you could attach the seat belt "outside" part. The inboard would still attach to the seat. Mark

        Beware of any bolts in the clusters which come anywhere near the exterior fabric.
        The fabric will drum and wear small holes, so you need to cover the end of any such bolt with anti-chafe tape to avoid this problem.

          For both the front and rear seat belts, I threaded the bushings for the bolts, so nothing protudes to the outside of the fuselage. Of course this is much easier if you are building your own fuselage.
