Dan:I have no idea where Corky got the shoulderharness/seat belts that are on 41CC but perhapshe'll remember the source and reply to this email.It is very handy to be able to unsnap the harnessfor the front cockpit and stow it when flying solo(which is most of the time) because the belts doget in the way of the pilot's feet and rudder bar.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 13 Apr 2010 07:31:23 -0600 (GMT-06:00)

Well as long as I'm asking questions-what has been the best results in settingup the wing as far as Dihedral and washout on the GN-1's ? I expect straight looksbest but just thought I'd ask before I start setting them up.

I think you are right, Chris. I have that set-up in the rear cockpit, but havebeen frustrated to find a shoulder harness set with a shorter lead. That one istoo long for the forward seat.Gary Boothe------Original Message------

I have not seen a photo of the belts in 41CC, but I have a pair of seat belts/harnesses that I bought from Joe Czaplicki that are still in the box. If they came from him, they might be the same. They are olive drab with olive anodized airline-style buckles. The end fittings for both the lap belt and the shoulder harness are the "clip-on style" shown in the link to the AS&S catalogue someone else posted. I'd love to sell these belts to someone who can use them. I think I gave Joe $35 each for them. I can try to post a photo later tonight if anyone is interested.Gene Rambo ----- Original Message -----

sorry, I have been very busy lately and have not responded to many emails. I am heading out to the school bus stop now, but I'll write later. If you want the seat belts, I'll put you on top of the list. Several people have asked. What do you need to know if you want them for sure? $70 for the pair of belts/harnesses.Gene ----- Original Message -----

Dan: yes, I believe the cabanes on 41CC are a bit tallerthan stock, as are most these days. I think the originalintent was to make it easier to get in and out of thecockpit by raising the wing a few inches and it does help.As you've noted, if your cabanes are shorter, the bracewires will X at a point closer to the cowling than on myairplane and may not allow attaching to them.[BS warning: here it comes]- in addition to providingadditional clearance for pilot and passenger entry tothe cockpits, raising the wing by lengthening thecabanes gets the underside of the wing out of thedisturbed airflow that comes off the tops of thewindscreens and thus provides a dramatic increase inclimb and cruise performance. Unfortunately, I havebeen unable to quantify those tremendous performancegains except to note that 41CC cruises very comfortablyat 70 MPH indicated airspeed. This is a good dealhigher than the older Air Campers with standard cabanesand with that ugly radiator out front, which completelykills airflow over the underside of the wingcentersection.[BS detector off now].Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________
