My CX4 Airplane Build Blog. Tuesday, September 16, 2014. Seat Belt Shoulder Harness Installation. Anyway, I was bound determined to make it work. And I think the results are quite good. The first thing I did was beef up the F10 bulkhead so that I could make it my anchor point for my harness. In the photos below, you can see that I mounted a cable through the beefed up F10 bulkhead.

My CX4 Airplane Build Blog. Friday, March 14, 2014. I've been busy the last few weekends creating and installing my turtle deck, complete with an access door. Click on image to enlarge. I first started by making the turtle deck out of construction paper. The CX5's new turtle deck is shaped something like what you see in the photo above, but I decided I didn't like this shape. I think I made a total of three out of cardboard before I got the shape I liked. I cut a hole to a pleasing shape and positioned ...
