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! 😊 Cheers, Jay Rich, I recline 30 degrees in my Dragonfly, the calculations are all average numbers you can refine them for specific areas if you want. No it does not take leg position into account. It just illustrates that you do not need a stiff foam. Temper foams are different as the push back changes with temperature. For me the spot that gets me the most is the back of my heels resting on the canard. Especially after 8 hour flying days. In conventional planes it is the sitz bones. One Sky Dog

There are foam densities that can protect an egg and there are foam densities that can protect a big fat ass and everything in between. They simply put in a density that is to strong for your needs.

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
Familiarisation".
I managed to get my elbow behind my head during the under
panel activities, but obviously not as supple as Jay yet. In fact,
do not believe I have ever been that good a contortionist !!!

I didn’t 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.

Normally they put 3 pieces of 1" foam with the stiffest being on the bottom and the softest on the top. Is you foam only one piece? I kind of like what Reg said. "Sand the foam down where your butt sits" if it is only one piece. If it is 3 pieces just take out one or 2 of the 1" foams. If it is one piece you can order the one inch foam and cut to size and let your upholstery guy or gal refit.
Surely your upholsterer can size the leather down to fit without much trouble.

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 leather.

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 when side by side and no weight. But the old seats compress much more since they are already broken in.

Take some foam out! Or like Bruce said it will relax in time. Interior looks great!!! On Apr 14, 2020, at 7:24 AM, Corbin via groups.io <c_geiser@...> wrote:

Before I had my seats made, I bought one of those rolled up camping pads (1/4” - 3/8” thick) From Walmart; I cut it to fit perfectly...no complaints, it served its purpose. 👍Sent from the ultimate iPhone

Interesting, the one and only time I've ever sat in mine. My head (I'm 6'3") hit the canopy in the right seat (full padding) and left seat was fine (extensive sitz marks). I thought the curve of the felt good, even without the pad. I bet a thin backpacking pad would work well in a pinch.
