As much as I’d like to install them now, I need the room in the fuselage for the many tasks yet remaining in there. Once the seat cushions arrive, I’ll temporarily install the left seatback to test the rudder pedal position I selected (middle). I really (major understatement!) don’t want to change that at this point in the project. So, fingers crossed for the time being.
