To get in from the front or back side of the wing means you end up with your butt sat on the headrest and your feet on the seat base. To avoid getting the seat base cushion messed up it needs to be lifted and rotated against the backrest. The cushion is restored to its rightful place as you slide in. Pretty obvious to seasoned pilots but not necessarily for newbies. -------- John Wighton Europa XS trigear G-IPOD Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=506080#506080 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:31:44 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Seat cushion question From: "n7188u" Once again, thanks to all for the valuable feedback. I believe I have enough for continuing tweaking my cushions. I am planning a x-country this weekend so will first try increasing thigh support. I am a little hesitant to increase the lumbar support since I have quite a bit already (not as much as Erich) and like having my legs stretched while flying and I am at a limit there but will try that if all else fails.

Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to hearing more about how it works and of any field experience.

Today I looked at the website and bare cushions for Lancair 360 and others similar to Europa run $400 to $500 per seat (2 cushions). Upholstery is extra. There is a new set of RV8 cushions on VAF that are upholstered in leather and the asking price is $6000, supposed new price is $6900.

Using an O2 sensor to control a mixture monitor does not require a fast response time of the O2 sensor. Even a few second response time is fine. When a O2 sensor is exposed to lead, it begins to slow down. After a while not only will it slow down but high and low parameters begin to get closer. I have a mixture monitor on my 914, I expect to get 75 or more hours out of sensor using 100LL. I welded a bung onto tail pipe just downstream of muffler to hold O2 sensor. If you are using an O2 sensor for mixture control, you need a fast O2 sensor response time. Ron P.
