Title: Dh-9a
Post by: mike in calif on February 19, 2013, 03:53:54 AM

I'm at the point where I need to know the seatbelt attachments for the WNW DH-9a. The rear seat slides fore and aft, so it seems the belt must attach to the frame of the seat. Any help appreciated.
I'm guessing a similar arrangement for the pilots seat?

Instructions aren't clear are they.

I take it you are ok with the front I've just had a look at mine and for the rear I had the shorter belt hanging down off the seat and the bigger belt hanging upwards. Not sure how correct it is. I'll post a photo in the morning when I get up, picture paints thousand words and all that.

It's all hidden by the rear gun anyway.

Thanks for the reply Gary. i'm not sure if the belt arrangement is the same for the two machines. This is one of the areas that WNW does not address in great detail; not photos either.

Mike this is what I did. I took the rear gun off so you had a better view, but like I said with that on you see even less so IMO getting it slightly wrong isn't the end of the world.
