John Hauck:

Are your seats the type sold with the Mark III kit?  or have you done something different.    I  firgure you have spent more time in them than others.   Comfort is definently a consideration.

Does any one on the list have any type of "blower" installed on their aircraft?  I refer to a blower that might be used to direct additional air over the cylinders during extended ground operations.     

Does anyone have a preference on what brand of manifold pressure gauge to use?

Bob G/Gang:



I never was a fan of fabric sling seats, although I flew with them a lot in 

factory aircraft.  They are comfortable and simplify construction.



I knew I wanted something a little more substantial if I crashed.  While 

building my mkIII in 1991 at the factory, I found two Ultrastar seats in the 

attic of Homer's barn.  Brother Jim welded up the seat frames and I 

reinforced the plastic US seat backs with sheet metal.  I also took some 

advice from the JAARS pilots and riveted a sheet metal pan under my plastic 

seat to prevent me being rammed through the 4130 seat frames should I have a 

really hard landing.



I also use a piece of firm (green) Thermofoam in the seat to extend flight 

legs from 30 minutes to several hours without getting butt cramps.
