Sounds a lot like the carbon fiber seat I made here... http://www.hubka.com/kr-2s_hubka_seat.htm
My seat sits 1" off the bottom of the fusalage floor to keep the DF canapy as low as possible and for comfort. The hollow centre 2" arm rest hosts pushrods to a horz stab bell crank. It will also host a push rod for my flaps. I made the arm rest strong enough to park my car on so it can be a step in for passangers because I will have a pilot side Gull Wing entry door. I like the "Obus form back rest" idea. I think I'll incorporate that into the foam insulation for the seat.

Wanted to thank Mark and Dan for all the info on their web sites. I made individual buck seat style that rap or hook over the front and aft spar caps. For the back rest I covered the back side of an Obus form back rest insert with plastic then laid up layers of carbon. It fits me just fine with and with out the already complete obus form back rest which come is several colours and happens to be designed to fit most people. I figure it did add up to about $250 Canada worth of materials and Obus form rests. Now onto the belly flap.
