I was building my front seats over the weekend, and looking at the vague
Zenith documentation, feeling the usual frustration. I put the seats in the
plane where Zenith indicates (I did NOT rivet the rails on yet), I thought
"hmm, this looks odd" it appears that the seat centerline's are such that
the rudder pedals end up inboard of the seats. I can place the seats so
the alignment works out ok, but they get a bit closer together than I
would like. Seems to me that the rudders pedals should be over all
about 2 inches wider (pilots left pedal outside, to co-pilots right pedal
outside). Does anybody else notice this? Or do you just put the seat
where Zenith indicates and then sit all the way over in the side of your
seat?

Jeff,
I installed our seats per the planes and I haven't noticed any problem withe the rudder pedals being offset a bit. Have 100 hrs. on the plane.
I did put slides on the seat so I can adjust it in flight. Didn't like the rod system.
