Another view of the forward area of the fuselage. The major parts for the rudder peddles are visible. 9:29:05 PM    comment []

Prepping parts for the seat backs. I didnít order the optional second brake peddle kit. This was a bit more challenging as the parts are not prepunched. Also there is some trickery in the dimensions of some parts as shown on the drawing. One dimension, clearly labled as ìtotal hinge lengthî, is half an inch shorter than the distance from one end of the piece to the required cut. Here are the seat backs positioned in the cockpit with the control panel located. 9:06:24 PM    comment []

Finding things to do on the fuselage kit. Prepping parts for brake peddles. I didnít order the optional second brake peddle kit. Now I wonder if I should have. The only ground steering for the 9a is rudder and brakes so it does feel like a critical function is missing in the right seat. 1:08:44 PM    comment []
