Subject: | Comfortable Seats |
Hi Mike,
My Europa is equipped with seats from Oregon Aero. This company has
produced seats for several Europas. Quality, looks and ease of
installation are good. I can=99t say much about the long term
seating comfort, as my Europa is not yet flying. If needed I can send
you some pictures.

Betreff: Europa-List: Comfortable Seats
Good day All,
After getting almost 50 hours on my Hobbs during my test flights and
subsequent pleasure flights,
it has come to my attention that my seat making abilities leave a lot
to be desired. To that end, and for the sake of my end, I was wondering
if anyone has had success ordering seats from a custom seat manufacturer
like Oregon Aero, et al.? Looks, cost, material chosen, ease of
installation, cleaningthese are the points I would
appreciate feedback on.
Thanks to all in advance.

Mike,
We have Oregon Aero seats and love them. They are comfortable on long trips and
have held up well for nearly 1000 hours. That they are designed with safety
in mind (consideration of impact loads and fire protection) also was a factor
in our decision. On the down side, they are expensive and heavy.
We had them incorporate seat heat elements which we use occasionally here in Michigan.
That has worked well too.

Will,
We have door locks but they are not all that strong. Someone once said locks only
keep honest people out.
The biggest deterrent are our Kennon Sun Shields. They fit inside the windows
and prevent people looking to see what avionics are fitted. They make a huge
difference in interior temperature. In Florida you'll find that a great feature.
In flight we use Pilot Armour Copper overhead sun screens. We have four of them
that we position as needed.

Chris,
Our setup is like Bill's. We bonded an aluminum angle to the spar and lower skin
outboard of where the outrigger is located. There is a nutplate in the angle.
We carry eyebolts which screw into the nutplates. Our plane spends a lot
of the summer tied down outside and never a problem.

That seems to me to be the ideal solution for a stable flying couple
like Jim and Heather, (weight apart). If like me you fly with a variety
of friends or other people's children and are a bit obsessive about
weight, then an alternative is to paint the seat backs and use cushions
together with a layer or two of impact absorbing foam under your seat
cushion. You then have a lightweight adaptable solution, which with the
right selection of cushions can still be attractive and comfortable.
