REFLECTOR: Rear seat hard points

[Al Gietzen]

Peter;

I fabricated a 'vanity' bulkhead to close out the back of my RG - you can
see that at http://members.cox.net/alg3/Interior.htm. The center shelf
section is very easily removable to get at things.

 

I assembled a rear seat with its support, and put it in position where I
wanted it (pretty much max leg room), then decided on the hard points for
mounting. I configured 'slide-in and lock' for the rear mounts, and
'bolt-down' at the front.  Makes the seats easily removable.

All,

The manual gives dimensions for the front seat hard points and goes on to
explain that the rear hard point locations are left undefined because of the
builders choice in terms of finishing off the rear portion of the aircraft.

 

Two part question: what are the various close-out options? - it seems most
folks are putting in a false bulkhead to finish off the rear area.  How do
the options affect the hard point locations and what are you guys doing to
locate those hardpoints in the absence of a concrete rear close-out plan?

 

TIA,

Peter
