The main drawback of the slab seat is being flat, it doesn't distribute thepressure evenly, thereby creating pressure points over time. A gentlecontour, when when covered with some foam would distribute the pressure moreevenly and increase comfort considerably.I cut an oval shaped hole in the seat and put two layers of fiberglassforming a shallow bowl. Didn't add any weight, is at least as strong, dropsme down in the cockpit an inch or two (smaller windscreens) and is much morecomfy during those long XC flights around my workshop making airplanenoises.Only drawback so far is I've had to put a bend in the tube going to thefront stick to avoid it.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 14 May 2009 06:17:22 -0700 (PDT)
