Unless you move aft quite a bit, this is going to put you at least 5.5" higher up than you would be otherwise, since the aft spar is the rear limit for the bottom of the seat back. Most KR pilots basically end up sitting on the floor to allow their heads to clear the canopy. It sounds like you're not planning on building anything that resembles a KR anyway though. > I'm thinking it would be best to do > the foam and glass (which is replacing the plywood) while the sides are > flat > so I can vacuum bag them Good luck with that. You might discover that plywood is used because it is light, strong, and requires minimal finishing work...
