I'm not a builder but am prepared to tackle some smaller jobs. At the moment it is a ply bench seat and cushion which gives me 31.5" from cushion to top of canopy. This means having to fly in a bent position and does not allow for headphones. The plane I usually fly has 35.5' and this is what I'd like. The bench is supported by longitudinal ribs and there is about 5-6" under the ply bench. To lower the bench would interfere with the elevator rod, so now I'm thinking of individual seats. I want to go as low as I can without my b-m dragging on the ground. What have other owners done? Is there an 'off the shelf" seat I can purchase? If not has somebody got a design I could copy or get ideas, especially how it can be mounted to the spars but be kept as low as possible It would have to be light as my C of G is a fair way aft as it is. In fact it wouldn't hurt for the pilot to go forward 1-2". The other option is to remove the turtleneck/canopy and start again. This not a good option because it would be beyond me and my time.Thankyou Graham. str...@riverland.net.au _______________________________________ to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html .
