Yes. You. You can make your own. It's just not that hard. It is simply
another part of building your own airplane. Let me know if you want more
information.

Actually, Jay, I'm also at about that point. I've seen how a couple of others
did it, and there was a fair discussion in Kitplanes a couples of months back.
But I'd like to see whatever you have in mind. Lots of choices means we're
better informed!

Jim,
Here a few photos of how I did it. Mine are certainly not "Ferrari" class
, but they are comfortable and not obnoxious. A lot of folks get the base
and foam done, then take them to an upholstery shop. I got seat covers
at Pep Boys and made do. The foam came from Wicks, I think. The plywood
base for the back was flat. The plywood base for the bottom was kerfed
for bending and pressed into the seat pan. The wheels kept them pressed
in tight while the epoxy coating set up to hold the shape.
Let me know if you have questions.
Jay

Hmmm. All my photos had a .jpg extension, which is about as "valid" as yo
u can get, So I don't know what the problem was.
Jim, I will send them directly to you, OK?

Second time around for seats for us. I had separate backs and seats
made by a local auto upholstery shop. No plywood or anything else.
Works fine. Cost was about $300. I made the side panels myself --
about $60 for material. Will send pix if you like.

Let me try this again.
This being a second go at seats, we had a local auto upholstery shop
make separate backs and seats. No plywood or anything else. Have only
had the bird back in the air for a month but all seems to work well. I
made the side panels myself -- not hard -- about $60 for material.
Attached with velcro, as someone suggested and it works fine on one
side. Other side needs some fine tuning. I'll send pictures tomorrow
if anyone wants them.

I would like to see those pictures of your panels. I am trying to get
idea's in both of these area's. I want the panels to be secure, but also
easily removed for annuals.

Larry,
I'm not the one you asked, but here are a couple of photos of my side wall
panels. The forward panels are fastened to the skin with the upholstery
level with the tops of the angles. I put vertical strips of Velcro on th
e skins and horizontal strips on the panels. That way, there is no blind
alignment required. The panels beside the seats are mounted on top of th
e vertical angles. I riveted small angles to the structural angles and ap
plied Velcro to those, again vertical with horizontal strips on the panels
. All the panels were made of a plastic corrugated board as a base, with
1/4" foam and fabric applied, all from Airtex Products, Inc.
