Has anybody used the prefabbed seat cushions from Van's in a Rocket? They don't list a set for the RV-4 but the ones for the RV-8 look like they would work with a little modification.

Haven't used Van's but Oregon Aeros are great. Their RV4 mold fits the Rocket very well. Tell them it's for a Rocket...I ordered mine sans fabric (just cushions) and had a local guy do the upholstery. Your mileage may vary...

I used the Van's in rear seat. Fit well. Cant remember for sure, but think RV-4 (I can check). Psx's say is comfortable.
Went w./Oregon Aero in front -- veryyyy nice........... Seems front cost 2-3 times more -- but well worth it.

Abby from Flightline Interiors is doing my F1 interior as we speak. She sent me the foam cushions and I've marked them up for a perfect fit in the Rocket.
She also did the interior on my RV10.....I was VERY HAPPY with her AND her work which is why she'd doing my Rocket.
You might give her a call....tell her 'Rick' sent you :^).

I decided to make my own seat cushions, after looking at Orego Aero website, I am sure they make a fine product but a guy certainly would need a comfortable place to sit after paying over $700 for bare foam cushions. My question is- does the front seat cushion need to protrude over the top of the spar bulkhead ? Or can it just be squared off and butt up to the aft side of the spar.

I prefer a support platform forward of the spar to support my legs a little better. Keeping the cushion aft of the spar doesn't give you much cushion area. Just my idea. Has worked good for me on my RV4 and almost 400 hrs. on the Rocket. Jim Winings 317-718-3415

Make it protrude over the spar. I flew mine once with a small cushion behind the spar while my final cushions were being made. About 20 min into the 2 hr flight I was really un comfortable. At the end of the flight I was in agony.
If you google foam mattress cushions you can find many suppliers who have online cushion design some of whome will layer different values of memory foam in your size and shape at a reasonable price.
