Posted: Sun Jun 21, 2015 6:21 am Post subject: lumbar support

     Went flying yesterday in my CJ and my lower back started to act up after an hour.  

     I was wondering if anyone has come up with a supportive backpad for the seat.  I am tall (Over 6') so can't afford to be moved closer to the pedals. Does the existing backpad serve any purpose? Would neoprene or a dense foam with a lumbar support work? Are there any stretches that I could do prior to flying that would mitigate the discomfort?

(Searched the archives to no avail)

Thanks,

I,ve used one for years.  Just a little arc shaped pad that fits in the lower back portion btwn the chute and seat.  I got mine at Oregon Aero at OSH.Works great on those long trips.



Strong also make on to fit on their parachutes (which I bought).  Not as big but also does a good job.  I like my OA pad the best.

Good Luck.

Phil,

 You may want to choose the cheapest and easiest remedy(?) first.
