I am about to upholster the cockpit of my aircraft, with the help of a vintage car restorer and upholsterer.
Has anyone cardboard or paper templates I can borrow.
I already have my seats thanks to John Bean.

Wings on final sand ready for paint, aircraft ready for upholstery, engine fitted with Nev's cowl and engine mount.
Coal powered instruments (for now), with total energy winter vario.

Hi Alan, have you had much response to your plea for assistance with the interior trim. My Europa G-BWEG needs to be redone.
Cheers

Jim & Alan, I am inclined to add a couple of words of caution for those about to embark on full scale leather and impact foam upholstery:
1. It can weigh a considerable amount
2. It is inflexible in terms of size of pilot/pax who will fit
An alternative is to have relatively light weight cushions (mine were recycled from an old Citroen in a scrap yard, chosen for their pleasing appearance and light weight) with variable amounts of foam or other cushions to adjust to pax size. It has worked well and been pleasing to the eye for 14 yrs, and contributes no doubt to mine being one of the lightest 914s in the fleet.
Regards, David
