Update after 76 hrs of work
 
....yes, just 76 hours!
I did the seats, all the side panels, the control column boots and armrests.
Very low budget interior, but what counts more is that my wife and I are happy looking at it sitting there all finished in the living-room.
We test set it and it feels very comfortable.
So if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, it can be done. Happy building because now I will tackle the wings.

Seat Cutout for Stick?
 
Great job on your DIY seats and panels. Just one concern...do you have enough clearance between the seat and full aft stick movement?

Nice job Michael. I remember reading your post saying you were going to give the seats a try. Actually making them happen and turn out so nice has to make you feel good.

Yes, it may look a little tight right now but on final installation the cushions get velcroed down and tugged back nice and snug. That will give enough room for movement.

Thanks for all the nice comments here.
It is a great experience building this plane.

Your seats look great Micheal! Keep up the good work.
