US60 "Pilot"
At last! My RCM US60 is nearly done! All I need to finish is install my pilot and seal up the canopy.
My question: Does anyone have advice for mounting a stuffed doll head for the pilot? My covering scheme matches my "Tigger" doll. There is plenty of space for cutting off the head and mounting it; it has a long neck! I just need to hear from those you who have mounted a stuffed doll head for the pilot. Any suggestions? Thanks-
I attached a picture for reference...

RE: US60 "Pilot"
When I mounted stuffed pilots in my planes I cut off what I needed a little long. Then cut a 1/8" balsa disk shape to fit the cut opening. epoxy or Ca the disk to the cloth at the proper angle and trim when cured. Now all you have to do is glue the balsa disk the cockpit floor.
