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.

Here's a pic of the right seat. It has a hinge and removable wedges to adjust the under thigh support. this photo is [image: IMG_6121.jpg] without the wedges. My instructor flew from that seat the other day and pronounced it comfortable [image: IMG_6119 (1).jpg] 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.

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.
