Steve,I've never had seat cushions in my Pietenpol and it has been fine but then again I am a full-figured girl sodon't need any extra padding.If you want a quick replacement right now is a great time to buy seat cushions at Walmart. They only have about 60 different kinds anda bunch you can order in different colors, have them shipped to a store near you or to your home directly.http://www.walmart.com/browse/patio-gar ... illowsMike C.Ohio[cid:image001.png(at)01CF653D.1080CA40]________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: what seat cushions?

Ahahha, well Scott I'm not a cowboy but I simply followed the seat slant/angle suggestions made by my Uncle Tony in his books and that provedto be nice and comfortable. (I angled the bottom of the seat back out an inch forward) Tony also has some good seat cushion advice for back and musclecomfort but of course the newer foams make these suggestions even nicer.I always said that the only 3 things I needed to build my Pietenpol were a phone, a credit card, and the Bingelis books and that is true today as much as itwas when I started building 20 years ago.Mike C.Ohio________________________________________________________________________________

Tony Bingelis isn't my uncle but I always envisioned him as like this Mafia type Godfather of good homebuilding advice and because he was Italian.I guess I just like calling him my Uncle Tony too because he was ALWAYS there on the end of the sofa on my little lamp table in the form of his bookswaiting to answer all of my questions when I would need a break from building or screw something up doing it my way instead of the way an experiencedhomebuilder would do it and do it in an airworthy fashion that would be approved by the FAA. Uncle Tony always gives 2 or 3 ways to do a task too unlessthere is only one right and sound way to do it----then he makes that very clear and I didn't want to deviate and go experimenting on my own only to find outlater that my big idea was a dangerous and possibly deadly one. Good sound advice always from my Uncle Tony. Good sketches and diagrams too and I learnfar better visually than I do simply reading text. Thanks Uncle Tony.Mike C.Ohio________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 1 May 2014 12:47:24 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: and for the record
