How do they feel?
 
No one has yet to comment on the comfort/support of the Lemke seat. In my -9A i had Classic Aero seats - hey were comfortable, but very expensive. At OSH, I sat in Oregon Aero seats for my new -14A build - very comfortable and a definite option. The seats from Germany appear to be very well crafted and fairly priced making them a serious option as well. Can someone comment on comfort/support and fit?

Thanks!

I did get my seats and I really like them! they are comfy and very well made. I thought I had the pics in here but seems as if the link went bad. I went with the headrest but wish I didn't for my 6. I am working with lemke to modify the headrest so we all get the best of both worlds. baggage access with a headrest.

*full disclosure* I have been helping him in the US so feel free to mention my name for a discount. shipping was about $150 from what I remember. I did not pay a VAT unless it was already built into the shipping.

Catmando also flew in my 6 recently. I wonder what his impression was.

VAT is only for Europe and possibly Canada. I was referring to US Customs. Did you incur a customs charge by importing these seats into the USA.

Dan,
I'm assuming you have received your seats by now. Did you incur any import duties on your order? How much was the shipping?

Charlie

I received mine last month. No import duties. ;)

No import duties on my end.

That?s a weird thing. Did the same for me but I was able to navigate through the website without any issues. The even have my seats in their photo gallery in the RV7/9 section. They are the black leather with tan inserts and the nice looking old Van?s logo.

My interior shipped out Tuesday. I'll report on the seats when I receive them.

As mentioned, I flew dmat's plane last week. First impression of the seats is quite favorable when you see them, high quality fit and finish. 5.2 hours flying that day, never was uncomfortable. I was reminded halfway through the day there was a lumbar support but really felt no need. Definitely would skip the headrests if it were me. To be fair, I jumped back in my plane with some second hand Cleaveland seats, and at no time during the 45 minute flight home did my mind (or backside) scream "Call Lemke when you land!" but then again I am not too picky.
