Not sure if you have ever flown with 5-point harnesses, but a retract reel 3-point is most comfortable. I realize 5-point is perhaps safer? Not trying to talk you out of it, but just saying to try one before you lock yourself in to the 5-point idea.
I can't remember if I fired six shots, or only five.....

The idea is to replace the front seat with some sport car carbon fiber seats and they usually go with 5 a points harness. It's just an idea still to fully develop. I'm used to fly with 5 points harnesses, normally keep the harnesses on for takeoff and landing, then in cruise just the lower 3 points.

The 3rd left stringer from the top, which is also the longest one of all, to install it do I have to drill a hole in the frame underneath the passenger row window? From the diagram is not very clear, but to me it looks the only way, otherwise if i keep it outside it will change the shape once covered. I saw from a pic here that they didn't but to me it looks wrong (first pic)

hi Duane,
What I don't get is that the string as for this pic

Is much longer so I either cut the stringer and weld it on both sides, or I drill an hole and have it passing through
