Little by little, eliminating this and that annoying thing, eventually makes a big difference in a product.
I'd buy a set.
Thanks,

Speaking for myself, the current latches don’t seem so bad I’d look to replace them. I only flip my back seats about once a year and find getting the back cushions on/off to be the only annoying part of the job.

Do you think there would be any demand for a seat latch that had a thumb tab to disengage the latch? They aren't cheap to make (unless I have them made in China). I would get a PMA for them. Direct replacement.
I have a set installed in a customers plane as a test. I think it makes the whole 'putting the seat back down' a lot easier.

Thanks Wes. I do appreciate the kudos.
And, thank you Michael. Guys like you keep me in business.
Some of you know I'm completely redoing my interior and a firewall forward with an IO360 and constant speed prop. I've relocated wires, relays, battery, made the firewall almost void of junk. I've also changed some interior to get rid of more of the plastic. My rear console will be flat all the way to the spar. No more plastic! The console between the seats will be different too. Can you say . . . 'cup holders?' It's a long, tedious process.
Mike, when do you want to get started on the tandem Tiger?
Also, the tail on our planes is the only real weak spot in the fuselage. I've got an idea for that too. But, not for a while. Gotta pay off two houses.

I'll tell the fabricator to make 20 sets. It's about all I can afford.
Thanks for your help Dean. Let me know some performance figures with that Jaguar cowling.

Well, all I can say is that after trying it on the one installation, it's an awesome improvement over the latch thats in there. For $25 to 30 a set and about 20 minutes installation, it makes a serious difference in convenience.
Sure, like most poorly conceived designs, there is always a work around. The current latch is just one example.

Speaking for myself, the current latches don’t seem so bad I’d look to replace them. I only flip my back seats about once a year and find getting the back cushions on/off to be the only annoying part of the job.

Do you think there would be any demand for a seat latch that had a thumb tab to disengage the latch? They aren't cheap to make (unless I have them made in China). I would get a PMA for them. Direct replacement.
I have a set installed in a customers plane as a test. I think it makes the whole 'putting the seat back down' a lot easier.
