Upholstery in progress!

Seat foam (soft and medium soft remnants) was ordered from Dynamic Systems and arrived yesterday (Monday 4/8) .  I have some medium left over from a friend's project and will use some of that too.

 Remnants are available from Dynamic Systems (Sunmate):  https://www.sunmatecushions.com/

My wife wasn't fond of me buying a sewing machine.  Youtube was feeding me video suggestions from https://www.youtube.com/@oldschoolautoupholstery  and he is located at Livingston TX.  The airport is 00R (Zero Zero Romeo).  Richard said he'd be available after April 14th to work on the seat covers.

Passenger seat foam laid out on the wing.

Variation from plans on the thigh support is to cut a round or rectangular edge to make it easier to slide feet under the panel.
Front seat template. Thigh support is shortened and narrowed some.


Pilot seat foam and headrest pad.

Head rests for passengers will go on the battery cover.

Pilot and Copilot headrests will attach with Velcro or snaps.
