| Subject: | Lord engine suspension rubbers |
My question concerns MT04 or Lord J 3608-1 suspension rubbers. I recall from perhaps
a few years ago that there was some debate about these items and assertions
that they were either too hard or too soft. Thus far I can't find any reference
on the website to this controversy. Can anyone inform me about this, please?
Also I've been trying to call Karen at Europa without success for almost a week,
to find out about availability. Is she furloughed?
Thanks for whatever information you can provide.

I dont seem to have photos of my seat so I will take some if I remember
when I next go to the hangar. Here's a pic of the right seat. It has a
hinge and removable wedges to adjust the under thigh support. this photo
is

without the wedges. My instructor flew from that seat the other day and
pronounced it comfortable

The rudder pedals are in the standard location.
My principle with the aircraft was to make it as light as possible.
The seat I made for myself from composite/coremat. It is about 1/4" thick.
It is designed to support my weight evenly from shoulder blades through to
back of thigh so that almost no padding is required. Today I fly with just
a sheepskin - no foam. I am aware of the issue of hard landing and
compression but I considered that the lack of padding would be mitigated
by distributing my weight over a wider area.
There is about an inch from my headphones to the plexi
As it happened when I flew from Colombia to USA I flew every day for two
weeks up to 5 hours a day and was never uncomfortable.

Thanks for clarification, Daniell - interesting! I'm not that tall with 1,82 metres
but cockpit space is the only thing I'm missing a bit in the Europa. However
I have to add, that I'm wearing a parachute and without it I'd have 2-3 Inches
more legroom. What also might contribute to comfort in your plane, especially
on longer flights, is perhaps the less upright position of the upper body.
I can see on the photos, that you also have cropped control sticks installed,
which provide more space to the front edge of the seat.
Cheers
