John asked-> Can I screw the seat backs rather than glue as I found them?> A lot easier access.As others have mentioned, the seat backs are structural and addrigidity and diaphragm strength like bulkheads. But my rear seatback has a hinged cutout for access to the elevator walking beam,my ELT and antenna, and the small baggage pouch on the inside rearof my seat. Come on over and look at it this afternoon ;o)For others on the list who may not know, John lives at my homefield of San Geronimo Airpark. We hope to fly together one ofthese days!Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"San Antonio, TXwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________
