Thank you Ron, Roddy and David for your responses.
The read switch with the the magnet embedded in the latch as shown in Ron's album
is a very clever solution.

14 hrs to go. Quite a surprised voice came back: "what type aircraft are you flying

an hour. His voice - again puzzled - when he repsonded "Wow, sheeet we're burning
120 gals a minute here".

Kelvin...I would urge that you consider using the very special (and
quite spendy) temperfoam for the seat bottoms rather than upholstery
foam...your tush will be very appreciative. My seat bottoms are 1" of
the green "crash foam" (very dense), 1" of blue (less dense), plus
triangular wedges of upholstery foam...it could save you some trauma
from a hard landing...sorry but I cannot source this material for you.
Good luck,
Fred

Fred Klein is right. Soft foam and a hard landing (not damaging the airplan
e)=0Awill probably cause serious back injury. Think about it, the foam will
still be compressing-=0Aand you are still going down ,when the airplane
has started its bounce so you hit the seat base twice as hard.-=0ABest se

Hi Group
I don't have personal experience flying in colder weather with
temperfoam, but Richard who flies a Europa upstate NY got rid of his
because it got too hard for his likes in the cold.
