Trim assist, rudder install, and seat install

Pretty quick job to install the trim assist...
The rudder ball joint bushings had to be tapped to be able to screw them all the way in. Once I got the tap through all 3 of them I was able to install the rudder, adjust to the required measurements, and then file the rudder stops to get 25 degrees in each direction...
I also got the seat pan trimmed so that it fit in place. I haven't cut the slots for the seat belts yet, or cleaned up the edges... but at least I was finally able to sit in my airplane and make airplane noises!
