Pietenpol folks,Lately there has been discussion on how to install seatbelts and harnesses in the Pietenpol. I have followed this conversation and have gotten some great info on the installation. I thank everyone who has responded to me. This list is a great resource for those of us still in the building process.Now my question: What kind of seat belt and harness system are most of you using in your airplanes. I'm looking for suggestions on which ones to get and where to get them.Thanks and keep building and flying Pietenpols!Irwinps...My project is about 75% complete and lately it has been a monumental task just to get to 76%! Sometimes one step forward and then 1-1/2 step backward (usually having to re-think some decision I thought I made some time ago). Oh well, that's a Pietenpol!________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2006 12:50:26 -0500

Chris asks->If 41CC has shoulder belts, any idea why the pilot hit the instrument >panel?I believe the belts were not as snug as they should have been. I've tried it myself, sitting in the cockpit, and if I don't cinch them down fairly well I can lean forward far enough for my head to get close. I'm sure that in a sudden stop, things get stretched forward enough that they can make contact. The Piet cockpit is not huge by any means.In the world of computer technicians, there is what they call "PEBCAK error" ("problem exists between chair and keyboard"); aka "user error". I'm sure there is a parallel n the Piet world, maybe "PEBSAS", or "problem exists between seat and stick" ;o)Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/CorkyP ... __________
