The past couple of days have resulted in yet another couple significant milestones in that both the GIB seat cores and the pilot headrest are installed in the bird.

Here we have the pilot headrest no-kidding bolted in place on the pilot seatback, with the upper and lower headrest pads attached and the GNS-480 GPS antenna puck covered with a nice spiffy white radome.

On the upper back side of the pilot headrest one can clearly see the “Big Brother” aft-facing wide-angle spy camera to keep tabs on any back seat suspe— er, ah, passenger!  And to have a good view of top cowling engine/prop stuff (hopefully never needed for that purpose!).

Here the pilot headrest is open for storage access (pic 1), where you can also the camera wires and GPS antenna cable (pic 2).

I officially finished off the back seat upholstery by installing the armrest pads (pic 1), where the right side will be most likely removed often (pic 2), to gain access to the decent-sized storage compartment under the pad, in the armrest (pic 3).

In prep for swapping the left wing out for the right wing at Phil’s shop tomorrow, I finished cutting and adding Thermo-Tec inside the wing root.  After the physical application of the Thermo-Tec was completed, I then used my gray hi-temp RTV to fill in the joints, seams and edges to avoid any dirt and oil from getting up underneath the Thermo-Tec.

And with that, I called it a night.  Lot’s of logistics going on tomorrow!

And, as always, pressing ahead!
