Great Lakes 2T-1A-2 Rebuild Diary

My Great Lakes 2T-1A-2 Rebuild Diary 2008.

21-March-2008. Pilot Seat.
It's Easter weekend. Last Easter I had just finished building my RV7, so I made the first long flight in it from Thruxton to Perranporth. A great trip and we enjoyed the day and evening on the beach in lovely warm weather. This Easter it is snowing.

The pilot seat on my Great Lakes had been modified to allow the use of a back parachute. I wanted it back to original so need to rebuild the seat.

Today I went to Aeroweld (where English David is working on his Great Lakes) to start work on my Pilot seat.
