Brief Description:  Passenger support magnets

I used a step drill to put a 5/16" hole in both the fuselage floor and passenger thigh support. Instead of using several magnets in different locations I stacked about 4 small magnets in each side, epoxied them in place and allowed to cure. While this was curing I cleaned up the hardpoints that were built last night. They weren't totally cured but enough to use, however standing on them won't happen for a few more days and I'm hoping it is as robust as it needs to be.
Next I installed the support and checked for clearance with the fuel pumps installed and found it to work Perfectly! I may trim the inside oak supports just a bit more to make SURE that a pump won't be rubbing against it all.
The hinges work perfectly, the magnets hold it in place with a good amount of force and now the support is ready for paint underneath. :)
