I’m having my interior done by Classic Aero Designs<\/a>. \u00a0I really want to go with the Aviator seats, but I had some concerns about the amount of headroom I’d have. \u00a0I spoke with Luke at Classic Aero and he offered to send me out both an Aviator and a Sportsman seat so I could try them out.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The Aviator seat has a rounded top and an integral frame. \u00a0It’s also offered with a headrest and looks much more like an automotive seat.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Since it has an integral frame, the back is covered and has a pocket. \u00a0There is also an adjustable lumbar support.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The Sportsman seat has a square top (because it uses the Van’s seat back which has a square top).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

It also has an adjustable lumbar support, but the back must be un-velcroed from the frame to adjust it.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

I installed a couple of nutplates on the B&C voltage regulator and installed it to the right subpanel rib.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

There are two bundles of wires on each side of the VP-X that need support. \u00a0I also need a way to route wires between the left and right side of the aircraft. \u00a0I installed some adel clamps on the bottom of each subpanel rib. \u00a0They’re just clecoed on since I’m sure I’ll have to swap them out for different sizes after I know how many wires will run through each clamp.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

It’s not clear from this picture, but they’re aligned with each set of connectors on the VP-X.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

I also installed a couple of adel clamps on the forward VP-X support angle. \u00a0Wires that need to cross from one side of the plane to the other will step up and cross on to of the VP-X through these adel clamps.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Here you can see that the ignition wires cross over the VP-X, down through the forward adel clamp below the subpanel rib and then out through the firewall pass-through. \u00a0Once these are zip-tied to all the other wires running along side them, these will very well supported.<\/p>\n
