 |

Hello List,
Here are a few pictures of some seats that I am working on. Again it this is the result of a few other peoples ideas.
Wanted to make some new seats that are:
1) Crashworthy - if I had sling seats back in 04, may not be walking yet!
2) lighter than old ones that were crashworthy.
3) they have to fit.
4) a little more comfortable.
Could not find anything that fit the criteria, so decided to make my own.
The pictures are a little out of focus. Sorry, I'm not Big Lar ( That is a compliment, Larry). But you get the idea if your interested. I did resize them!
Seats are made of 4130 Chrome tubing with .063" aluminum pan. The second picure is taped up with one layer of blue painters tape and then a layer of aluminum duct tape. This gives it the form for fiberglassing.
Next step is to fiberglass them with a freinds help (Bruce W.).
This will lift for access and will be removeable (ala John/Jim Hauck)
This one is for John Cooley. I ain't giving up on the list. The List has been a valuable resource for me over the years. Granted, there used to be a lot more content about building and flying Kolbs. I did like that more better. I have been disappointed lately like a lot of folks. Some really knowledgeable people have given up on the list because of the BS. That is a shame but I can't blame them and do understand. I learned a lot from them and they have a lot to offer. But on the outside chance that there is someone out there (like me when I first started) that is wanting to read about building and flying Kolbs, I'm not giving up. I'll keep posting my efforts, my "dumb ideas", and other people's good ideas that I have learned mostly on this list. They may stimulate a better idea. Sorry about that rant, I'm done.
Fly safe, keep the faith.

I know many pilots and a few true aviators. There is a distinct difference that I have the greatest respect for. |

I like your seats, especially the sheet aluminum pan. May save your
butt some day.
