Hi Jeff,The front seat support frame should be glued in. The seat takes a lot of abuse with people crawling in and out. Glueing will result in a much more durable seat structure.Greg Cardinal----- Original Message -----

Jim,I do like the shape of my windshilds with their formed bends. I have seen a lot of the Piet windshilds without the formed bends and they look good also. I can take a photo of mine and pass it on if you would like. If you like the looks I'll send you a template.Gene ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Forming Plexiglass and Lexan

Hi,Any good layouts, measurements, etc would be appreciated. Thought of using good sized (larger) band-aids as templates for the fittings, asthey have about the right shape and I have them on hand. My plexiglas is thethinner variety that a number of sources recommended as being able to be bentcold without needing any kind of heat treatment.JimRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Jeff,I went ahead and added a couple of vertical supports at the back of the seat. I saw Duane Tulba come back with a passenger once at Brodhead and the seat bottomhad broken away from the seat back. That could create some problems withthe rudder bar underneath. Not a bad idea to add a couple of uprights to supportthe back of the seat bottom just like the front is supported.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sun, 13 Jan 2008 10:19:40 -0800 (PST)

As Don noted, I was concerned about the lack of support for the aft edge of the front seat so when I rebuilt the one on 41CC, it seemed easy and advisable to add verticals and I did.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags@hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: glue front seat front support?

Hi Jeff,Mine is just like the plans, with the addition of two small uprights to help supportthe seat frame at the back edge where it is glued to the seat back. I gluedthe frame of the seat in as a permanent structure then I attached the actualplywood seat to the frame with velcro. I did build the seat frame with dowelsto help strengthen it. It is nice to have access to the rudder bar areafor inspection and to get the washer, nut, or cotter pin that WILL fall underthe seat.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
