Thanks for the upload. Don?t know what I?m doing wrong.

Shame they don't produce RV8 seats! -:(
|
Hey Capt,
Hit me up on IM about the 8 seats. |
I was told that RV-8 seats are imminent, like weeks away.

Mention my name to Rob Lemke and get a discount on your order.

DMat,
Now that they're installed, what are your thoughts about access to the baggage compartment, and does it interfere at all with the shoulder harnesses? Thanks, Tom |
If I did it again, I would have opted for no headrests. Getting into the baggage is harder. The harnesses haven't been a problem so far. I though they would be but I'm not having any issues while flying. With all this said, I am going to speak with Rob and see if we can modify the headrests to change my mind of keeping the headrests. I will post pics once I have some mock ups.

Seat back Height
Dmat.....would you go with extended normal height or the shorter height seats then?
|
I would go with normal height seats if I had to pick between the two. But, like I said, I am working with Rob to come up with a compromise to allow the best of both worlds. Convenience of the short seats but still have the headrest.

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 |
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. |

No import duties on my end.

Clicked on the link in the first post and got the following:

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.

Seats
How long have you waited to get them shipped?
Robert told me 20 weeks I?m about 8 weeks now Dave |

I ordered March 12th and my interior shipped last Tuesday. I ordered sheepskin seats and they had issues with how much sheepskin they needed so that added to the time it took.
|
First fit

Looks awesome! I like the sheepskin/ brown combo.
|
I know Lemke has been a bit behind due to the volume of work (blessing and a curse). I am also waiting on my updated seats as Rob and I would rather have you guys sitting in style first.
Again, mention my name and get a discount ;) D |
German interior arrived
Received my RV-6 seats and interior, last week, Robert quoted 4 weeks shipping, only took 3, via USPS. Leather and stitching, outstanding, carpet quality, amazing. Overall, I couldn't be more pleased.
