All RV-10 drivers are welcome to come and stay with us here in Adelaide, we're
steadily notching up RV-10 visitors.
We finalised our airfares to the US yesterday, so Linda and I will hopefully finally
meet up with some of the RV-10 family next year at Oshkosh. We intend to
be there for the first five days, before moving on to Canada.
Prior to traveling to Oshkosh we will visiting Los Angeles and San Diego, are there
any RV-10 builders in Los Angeles or San Diego please?
We will then be traveling to Kitchener, Ontario and would love to meet up with
any RV-10 builders in Canada too please.
Warm regards
Patrick

Looking for opinions on the front seats.
Anyone have recent input from going the Oregon Aero route wrt pricing ?
I'm tempted to use that avenue, but the idea of shipping both seat
frames out and back sounds risky.
I took the cushions and frame to a local auto interior shop to get an
estimate - while claiming they are 'experts' in aviation upholstery, the
guy seemed clueless. They refused to give me an estimate beyond "time
and materials" -- with a time estimate of "could take me 2 hrs, could
take me 10" (at $75 per hr). I left unfulfilled.

Depending on where you are, also consider Geoff Combs at Aerosport
products. in Columbus OH area for very nice custom seat covering.
The front seats are more easily shipped if you separate the seat back from
the seat base.

Ron;
I went to a rather famous auto upholstery place in Southern California, they
were very expensive and in the end the work was pretty bad. I ended up
getting a beautiful seat from Desser for a reasonable price. I do not know
if they are still doing this as it was during the era when Desser was
pushing into the RV aftermarket business. If I were to do this again with a
RV-16 I would go the aircraft uphostery route, albeit Oregon, Desser or
other upholstery company that has done this before.

I had front and rear seats covered in marine vinyl ..... easy to keep
clean and durable .... for $850 time/materials ..... which included
tuck/roll for the center panel. The lady works out of her home in
Titusville FL which is kinda local for me.
If you have removed the crotch strap from the back seats like I did, be
sure to tell the upholsterer so they can remove the 'notch' from the
rear seat bottom.

Yeah, I talked to her not long ago and they really are swamped
with business. They refuse to raise prices to make the products
less affordable, which keeps them completely swamped.
I didn't know that all RV-10 products were gone, but I knew
carpets and things for sure were.

One thought about the front seats. One of the greatest builder mods of the whole
build was the two seat mods for the front seats. Trimming the track guard,
and nut plating the aft track block, both for easier seat removal. Hopefully
someone can post a link to the instructions for those mods as they are highly
worthwhile. Van's should have just embedded them into the plans they make so
much sense.

Aerosport Products can do your seats any many colors and fabrics. We can do
custom designs for a small fee.
We now have all RV-10 seat foams in 3D and can generate seat designs much
quicker thru a computer program.
This program is what many of the car manufactures use for designing their
seats patterns .
We do require you to send the front upper steel frame with the foams and
just the lower front seat foams.
For the back seats we have our own foams we sell that are very similar to
the Vans foams. All we need are Your corrugated rear seat back frames that
the builder assembles. We do offer carpet kits for the RV-10 also.
Give us a call
Thanks Geoff

My vote is for Abby with Flight Line interiors. I would bet she has the single
most experience in doing RV interiors.
She is extremely easy to work with. Great quality.

Abby and crew is definitely easy to work with, and i have ordered
several things over the years.
However, the one disappointment i had was with ordering the rear
passenger seat floor mats. For some reason, they are small and do not
fit the footwell. They are short about 2 inches or so all around. She
said that was all they had and did not have anything bigger. It just
struck me as odd that they couldn't make a simple modification to fully
fit the footwell?! The fronts fit great.

Mine fit well - did you have carpet installed on the surrounding
vertical surfaces? I did and I'm thinking that may be a dependency.
I also 2nd the motion on Abby's seat work. Just pick the materials and
order, no need to send anything. They'll fit fine.

I think the issue is that her rear floor mats are designed to go on top of full
rear carpeting that is glued to the floor pan.

The options weren=92t as prevalent when I did my seats, but I went with
a local guy that did seats for hot rods. They turned out great and a
very good price, although I don=92t recall exactly what. I=92d look
into the normal options, but try talking to a local hot rod club as well
as anyone that does good work on their seats has the equipment and skill
to do yours as well, and since it doesn=92t say aviation it might be a
lot cheaper.

I bought virtually everything that Geoff Combs/Aerosport Products sells for the
RV-10 - IP, all interior panels, overhead console, front and rear leather seats
with headrests, center console with upholstered arm rest, headliner, and carpet.
Although I do not have everything installed yet, the quality looks great.
And, since Geoff built and flys an RV-10 I have no worries about something
not fitting. His service, responsiveness, and support either directly or through
Zac Holcomb have been excellent.

They refused to give me an estimate beyond "time and materials" -- with
a time estimate of "could take me 2 hrs, could take me 10" (at $75 per hr).
I left unfulfilled.
