It has been a late start to the building this week as a result of a serious "man-cold". However, a bit of sunshine today tempted me back into the workshop to try and finish up the surrounds for the seats. First I fabricated the right side panel and then a panel for between the seats. Tabs 123-127 were then welded into place and match drilled to the panels and the usual clinchnuts inserted and tack welded. Then the sections of the armrest/flap lever cover were deburred and the top panel coutersunk for AN426-4-4 rivets. These were back-riveted into place which leaves a clean top surface ready to take a covering yet to be decided. Basically this completes the seating and flooring of the cockpit. The only bit I haven't worked out yet is how to fill the gap between the door posts and the seat sides. It probably doesn't need doing all the way up but the bottom section is essential to stop any loose items like pens disappearing into the back of the fuselage.
