Dear builders,
I am already airborne since April 2003. I installed my own seats in my 8
and found out that there must be better solutions. Vans offers Oregon
Aero seats and there are as well completed seats from Classic Aero
Design.
Which of those seats are more comfortable? According the fotos, the
Classic Aero Design seats appear more wide than the Oregon Aero seats.
Opinions?

Bob,
On my RV-6A project I sealed the area with red RTV, a suggestion from Van's
that was in the RV-6 builder's manual.
Have a nice weekend.

I'm in the initial stages of fitting my Van's "Filtered Air Box" to my
"O-360" engine with a Precision MA4-5 carburetor. Like for most of these
carburetors, I had to cut a hole to allow the bowl drain to protrude into
the "mount plate" (VA-131-C). My question is this: The above hole will
allow "dirty air" to enter the "clean air part of the air box" unless you do
something to seal it! What have others done to seal these cracks . . . or am
I missing something?? Thanks, Bob Christensen RV-8 N678RC - In SE Iowa . .

Stephan,
I can't comment on how the Oregon Aero seats feel on long flights because my
plane is not flying yet. I can say that they are beautiful and very
comfortable to sit in at least for a short time. I was very impressed with the
workmanship and design of these seats when they arrived. The front seat back has
an
internal frame and it looks very nice. They sit high in the cockpit and come with
adjustable spacers for the rear seat occupant. I bet they are very nice for
the long flights. I'll let you know when it is flying which will be hopefully
soon!

Stephan,
I can't give you a comparison between the two, but I have the Classic
seats, and I'm very satisfied with the comfort as well as the looks.
