I have not yet installed my seats, and am confused about the seat
plunger issue. Why is it necessary to remove the plunger from the seat
to remove the seat from the rails? If it=99s because you
can=99t get your hand down between the seat and side of the
fuselage while sliding the seat aft, will the extention handle mod allow
you to remove the seat without removing the plunger?

There are two large nuts that the plunger will hit and prevent the seat from
sliding off the rails.

Nope, there is a stop on the rail that cannot be removed (without mod).
The plunger cannot get past the stop and thus needs to be removed for
the seat to slide off the back of the rails. I have looked at ways of
making the stop removable (like others have done), but looks like too
much work on completed airframe. You would not want to remove the stop
permanently for safety reasonsi.e. the Cessna seat
rail issue and mod. You would not want the pilot sliding into the back
seat on rotation..if the plunger go stuck in the up
position.

Happy so far with the 50 or so times I've had the seats on and off. :)
Oh, and I switched the two seats and rails so the t-handle is on the
inside next to the tunnel. As I have no center console there, it is
easier to get to the bolts. Even if you use bolts with nutplates, it is
still a tight fit between the seat and the fuse side.

I was concerned about modifying the seat rail and also about access for the
bolt. Are you happy on both accounts?

The track mod was a great idea and worked slick. Somehow, I hadn't heard about
that one before.
The other mod for the AFT stop of the seat rail didn't make sense to me at first
reading, but now makes perfect sense and I will be doing that one as well.
If I may be so cheeky as to restate that one so a dummy like me can grasp it.
The rear stop on the notched seat rail is held in place by two bolts/nuts integral
to the rail piece itself. If you remove those bolts, drill down through
the underlying seat pedestal cover, and add nutplates to the bottom, by using
longer bolts that now reach down to the nutplate, you can remove the rear stop
by with a simple socket on an extension to the bolt heads that are now upright
and accessible. With the rear stop removed, you can slide the seat out without
removing the T-handle apparatus at all. Easy on/easy off.
This one thread has made the annual dues worthwhile for me. Thanks fellers.
