Classic Aero Seats For RV-6
 
I want to purchase new seats for my 6 and I am trying to decide between the Classic Aero Sportsman and the Aviator seats.

I almost never fly for more than 3 hours at a time. I am leaning toward the Sportsman seats because of the price. I am looking for any feedback from others that are using the Sportsman seats.

Thanks in advance for the feedback.......

Did you see the new CA-1 seats?

Not sure if they fit in the -6 too, but I'm sure they could make them that way

Yes I have the Sportsman seats in leather in my RV-6 and I am very happy with them. They are extremely comfortable however the longest flight I have had to date is a little over one hour.

I am about 5'10" and use one large and one small booster underneath, I did not get the additional comforfoam (sp?) padding that was an option at the time (about 8 months ago).

A very good compromise IMHO.

Thanks Doug. I am just a little taller than you so maybe the large booster cushion will work for me.

I have the Sportsman in my 6A. Plenty comphy for those three hour flights, and never feeling sore afterwards... :)

New Seat Builder
 
My Super Six parner has been building seats and interiors since last winter.
We have a set in our RV now that are really prototypes but they are really as nice as any I've seen and I'm kind of picky.:D
With all memory foam, I've put in a 4 hour flight and they were really comfortable. He put up a web site before Oshkosh. Below is the link if your want to check it out.

I just visited Classic Aero shop a couple weeks ago to pick out seats for my rv6. The aviator seats are quite a bit nicer. I like the integrated seat back that just attaches to the existing piano hinge in the cockpit.
