				Let me try this again.
   
  This being a second go at seats, we had a local auto  upholstery shop make separate backs and seats.  No plywood or anything  else.  Have only had the bird back in the air for a month but all seems to  work well.  I made the side panels myself -- not hard -- about $60 for  material.  Attached with velcro, as someone suggested and it works fine on  one side.  Other side needs some fine tuning.  I'll send pictures  tomorrow if anyone wants them.

				I would like to see those pictures of your panels.  I am trying to get  idea's in both of these area's.  I want the panels to be secure, but also  easily removed for annuals.

				Larry,
  
  I'm not the one you asked, but here are a couple of photos of my side wall panels.  The forward panels are fastened to the skin with the upholstery level with the tops of the angles.  I put vertical strips of Velcro on the skins and horizontal strips on the panels.  That way, there is no blind alignment required.  The panels beside the seats are mounted on top of the vertical angles.  I riveted small angles to the structural angles and applied Velcro to those, again vertical with horizontal strips on the panels.  All the panels were made of a plastic corrugated board as a base, with 1/4" foam and fabric applied, all from Airtex Products, Inc.
