My new S1C had some crappy seatbelt so I ordered the Hooker Aerobatic set. I have one spot where the belt bolts in. The second belt will be the wrap around style. Scott at Hooker said to wrap it around the bottom longer on which sounds correct. There is no space between the bottom longeron and the fabric. The fabric wraps the bar tight!.
Scott is telling me I should be able to wedge the belt between the fabric and the longeron. There is no slack, is this correct to force that belt through there or just find another bar to go around?
The other planes I put Hookers in were a bit different.
