Thanks Bruce. I hadn’t thought about temperature affecting the foam. I’m learning so much from this group!

The memory foam is designed to be stiff until it warms up to your body. Then it softens and will let you down a bit. You may need to tighten your seat belt a bit when it lets down.

Re: KITPLANES - September 2006 - Las Vegas Quickie
Thanks John,
So, based on this info, we are looking at (GW of 1000 pounds) a power loading of 15.4 lb/hp! Probably unconfortable for anything but a looong strip and low density altitude.

Re: KITPLANES - September 2006 - Las Vegas Quickie
I found that I am plenty comfortable with just the thinnest of memory foam on the seat bottom. Maybe you could take the bottom cushion back to the person that make it for you and have most of the foam

My problem is headroom. I got those new seats made but the foam is still so firm that I have to tilt my head to the right slightly when the canopy is closed. I have weights on the seat to try and

There have been a few who could just barely get the belt fastened while sucking in their belly. Don't know how comfortable they were but by golly they weren't giving up their seat!

Re: KITPLANES - September 2006 - Las Vegas Quickie
Jim,
It would be great to know if the 1,325 lb number comes from structural limit testing or just plain ol' running out of aft CG. Do you fly in Normal Category above 1,100 lb?

Corbin, If you happen to find some rain you will be very very happy you have them. The GU canard will head to the ground if it smells water.
We put on 1/2 the normal amount if it worked well, but
