    John,

    Yes thank you for your research and development of many mods to your 750. I have copied your design for the four point harness. I ordered the tubing and plate from Aircraft Spruce. Then read your write up, cut to length at 23 degrees, welded up, and guess what? A perfect fit. M y question is do you still have the information on the belts you ordered from Crow? The lengths ? Or order number for them to reference too. Yep still going , I did install the Edge bore kit on my 912 and with 50 hr on it it seems to be doing really well. I should find time and make a trip up to TN for a visit.

    Regards Bill Alexander.

    Hey John, Tony here with a thank you response to your photos of your seats. I really appreciate them, and they are inspiring. Would you have any templates of the covers that go over the flight controls, I’d happily buy them from you? Lastly, you mentioned extending the seats towards the stick, do you mean narrowing the slit gap between your legs for the stick, making it tighter laterally, or longer as in closer to the rudder pedals for better thigh support? Thanks again for the input.

    Hi John,

    I just realized that I have not been receiving any notifications other than when a new member signs up. I went to the email page, and I have everything selected to receive. Any idea what could be happening? Guess it is possible my email server is blocking but don't know why it would let the new member notice come through. Any ideas?

    Also, I noticed that a Mr. Michael Mccarthy has been trying to contact me. It was date June 2021. Guess I have been too busy to even notice missing emails.
