    Sport Aircraft Seats

    I've been working with Daniel at Sport Aircraft Seats to develop patterns for the Bearhawk seats. The great part of his system is that he will be able to send you a kit including everything you need to attach the seat base and cushions to your frames, no need to send the frames up to him...

    Wing tips

    No big deal here but though I would share. I've been using the cold months to do some upgrades on N942VT, after 3 years of flying a few things I wished were better done. My wing tips were short of the ailerons as some have mentioned so I extended them as the pictures show. I used 1/2" balsa...
