Today was one of those great RV-moments ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Our 3 year-and-two-month old was ready for her first RV ride! And we had a blast...
The all too familiar RV grin after the flight:
I had prepared a booster seat, which works extremely well.
It's a combination of a luggage strap, some styrofoam blocks, lots of duct tape, some zip ties (to extend the center belt of the 5-point harness) and an off-the-shelf booster seat intended for a standard table chair...
The contraption looks like this:
and like this when installed (note the zip tie extension of the center strap):
What doesn't work too well yet, as you'll see in the pics, is the headset situation ;-) My old DC is way too heavy for any kind of accelerated flight *G*
Any ideas/pointers for a good kids headset (short of a $1k Bose?) are highly appreciated!
Takeoff!
Didn't go too bad it appears ;-)
So we go for a low pass at my covid19 impacted workplace nearby (LSZH)
Oops, that pullup was a bit too hard, where'd the headset go? ;-)
Can't be too bad
Still smiling...
