Engine mount is constructed of steel tubing and is secured to the cabin truss via a four-
point attachment. Bolts travel through bushings welded on mount, pass through the
firewall and exit through other bushings welded to cabin truss. Nose gear support assy is
attached to engine mount.
Cabin access is through a sliding canopy made of composite material. The canopy is
fastened via three lock levers: one at the top and two at each side.
Seats are made out of metal tubing framework with fabric covered foam padding. The
two seats can be independently adjusted by sliding backward and forward along rails
fixed to cabin truss structure. Seat release levers are located just below seat cushions.
