Hi Angier:

Here's my take on your question about seat cushion material: Marv is 100%
correct regardin Temperfoam. In the interest of keeping my airplane sort of
minimalist in the interest of no excess weight, I used a 1 inch thick
Temperfoam pad enclosed in a sewn fabric container. I used the densest
(seems the hardest if you just push down on it) stuff they make and it
really does the trick. The stuff seems quite hard when you first sit down on
it, but after a couple of minutes, as your butt warms it up, it quickly
conforms to your particular shape. The stuff is great, even after three
hours - or at least, long after anything but the pain in your bladder is of
any importance.

I'm hoping to get kown to Redmond for the Lancair bash and you're welcome to
take a long sit in N235SP to see how the stuff feels. Incidentally, I
believe it's fairly immune to burning rapidly too, however I'd still enclose
it in something like wool or wome other fire resistant fabric, just for
insurance.
