The Ultrastar seat was a plastic waiting room chair seat. I was scrounging around in the attic of Homer Kolb's barn, Kolb Aircraft Company, and discovered two US seats. Brother Jim welded up the seat frames and we were in business. I went a little further with my seat using a trick learned from the JAARS (Jungle Aviation and Radio Service). One of their pilots had become paralyzed when the Heliocourier he was flying stalled and crashed on short final to a jungle airstrip. When the aircraft pan caked in, he was driven down through the 4130 steel seat frame. To remedy that they installed a sheet metal pan under the seat. I followed suit. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
