The Little World

I confess myself mystified at the philosophy that spends money to mould a resin seat of truly superb quality and then cannot make adequate provision to anchor it accurately within the fuselage.

I admit that it is unlikely to escape once the two halves of the thing are cemented together, but the business of deciding where it hangs should not be left to chance and gravity.

This is all the more important in a jet aircraft – nearly all are on tricycle landing gear and in danger of tail-sitting unless weighted. You need to know if there will be room for lead weights, and even more so in the nose of a Mirage – there is little room there.

Good thing the radar nose is hollow.
