Wonderfull building !!! Now I know it's possible. Where did you get the riveting plan for the wings? I'm quite interested indeed. Cheers

That was the case on Mustang as pilots had a back-parachute which was smaller. This was the same for late versions of the F4U Corsair and other post war piston-engined aircraft. According to the fact that the pilots late in the war in the Pacific, had to travel a lot over oceans, a life raft was designed to be carried with the pilot in case of ejection over seas.

There was no cushion, the pilot sat on his parachute, you're right Cheers
