Subject: Pietenpol-List: seat belt and cushions Another reason not to have seat cushions. Kidding Jack-glad you swapped runways for more favorable control authority.During preflight I make sure my front seat belt is wrapped and buckled around the control cables that run along the right sideof the top right longeron to keep it out of my rudder bar area.My front seat bottom is velcro'ed to the frame so as a routine I will pop that off to make sure there are no golf balls, beer cans,toy trucks, or snakes sitting down there-plus makes sure the fastners are in place before flight.Mike C.Glad you got to fly Jack ! We had 3.5" of snow last night after a wonderful thaw where we could even see the GRASS again !Twas not to last.________________________________________________________________________________
