During my test filghts I realized I needed a more comfortable pad for my butt. I used pieces of various dense foam to make a pad, with the thinest partin the middle where I actually sit. It forms somewhat in a deep dish shape, and most importantly, extends 2" forward of the front of the edge of the seat, to give my thighs some support. Then just made a cover out of denim fabric. I gained lots of experience on how to climb in and out of the plane, while I wasmaking that seat !! I used to be able to blame my numb butt cheaks for a bad landing...gotta come up with a different excuse, now.Chuck G.________________________________________________________________________________
