Folks...
As I've previously mentioned, I'm in a wheelchair and this weekend
found a good way to get in the cockpit (not very elegant, but it
works). We are making minor modifications to switch locations,
bigger knobs, etc, etc. and am thrilled so say that I think this is
going to be a GREAT plane for me to learn to fly in.
I hope this isn't too dumb of a question, but I need to recline my
back if I've been sitting more than 45 minutes to an hour. Any
longer and I hurt pretty good. The seats in the plane sit straight
up and are backed right up to a bar that is painted the same primer
as the frames, but I'm not sure it's a structural member. I'm going
to crawl around the cockpit this weekend to see if it appears to be
structural or is just holding the hat shelf.
I would like to add a reclining seat on the left side, for times on
on the ground and need to relieve back stress. Can I have the
benefit of the groups experience regarding this modification? Is
there any reason a reclining seat back cannot be added? Is the bar
behind the seat back structural and if so, can it be altered to allow
the seat back to recline?
Thanks for your advice...
