Kolbers,

I admit it, I am a newbie... I have a few questions which beg your experience...

The seat belt which came with my Firestar II is inadequate. I am looking at Microflight Restraining System's setup for the Firestar II. Price at aircraftspruce is $129.95 with 4 point harness. Is this good?

Secondly, I am concerned about weight and balance. Currently I am at 267 lbs (and still dropping) I am 6"4". I am also considering the Ruggles Aircraft Scale system for tail-dragger for 275.00; any comment?

Finally, I need to replace my short windshield. Can I go by Regal Plastics and buy the appropriate thickness of sheet Lexan and cut it using my existing windshield as a template? Is this smart? Can anybody recommend another place?

Thanks,

Boatner

Hi,
My Firestar II came with the Restraining set-up your talking about...
I had to buy another set for the back seat ( ACS&S ) and it was just like my original set.....

But the way I have them "loose" to reach the panel....it kind of like the
"lap belt" your talking about.....in fact I needed to make something so the shoulder straps wouldn't slide off....

Although the shoulder straps are loose , they would still work in a crash.
