Yes its ankle angle thats a killer for me too, and have been experimenting with cable length to try and get the most comfortable pedal position during several hours of "Cockpit

Hi Charlie,
Once I get it trimmed up for cruise on a long flight, I pull my legs up and lock both ankles behind my neck. I learned this pose from Jerry Marstall! π
Cheers,

So do you stand on your seat or have an unusual seating position?
Does this take into account leg weight distribution ?

Re: KITPLANES - September 2006 - Las Vegas Quickie
Simple elegant solution low push back foam.
So my estimated average seat loading is: 220 lbs/ (20β torso + 10β seat) * 12β wide = 0.6 lb/ in2.
So to sink in I would need foam that could not

Re: KITPLANES - September 2006 - Las Vegas Quickie
Corbin, your need has a very simple solution, one which will not make the nice material to large nor cause it to be full of wrinkles.
Change the foam density from it's current one to one that is

I didnβt say it would relax in time. I think that was the upholstery guy. I said it relaxes when it gets warm from your butt sitting on it.

Hmm....the shop says it will conform but I am sure it is also high quality so maybe it will take longer than I am thinking. I might look into the sanding method and just deal with loose

Re: KITPLANES - September 2006 - Las Vegas Quickie
Comment on foam,
If the foam is a cheaper (low density) and or open cell foam it will compress over time and stop bouncing back. If itβs a good quality foam ( high density closed cell furniture

Re: KITPLANES - September 2006 - Las Vegas Quickie
Yes, basically the weights will help it compress once body weight is on it. Otherwise, it expands again when no weight is on it. In other words, my new seats and my old seats are the same thickness

Re: KITPLANES - September 2006 - Las Vegas Quickie
Hmm, so compressing the foam with weights if successful will not make the leather to loose ? After having flown on several seat iterations to much foam is worse than not enough (6β3β) only one

Re: KITPLANES - September 2006 - Las Vegas Quickie
I had discussed taking some foam out with the upholstery shop. Basically, the seats would have to be rebuilt (else the leather would be too loose and not look good). So they just advised weighting
