Hi Robert;

I'm interested in the seats but understand you are in Germany? I live in California so I'm thinking the shipping costs would be a deal killer. Any idea what it might be? I'm not in any hurry if that makes a difference.

Thx,

Hi Gary,

Shipping to the U.S. is $135.00 and includes $1000.00 insurance. Shipping is with DHL and takes about 2 weeks.

We normally do paypal. You can normally associate your American Express with your paypal account. We don't accept credit cards outright. Sorry

Hi Robert;

Do you know the approximate weight of the seats and accessories? I need to keep the weight on the aircraft as low as possible.

 

If the weight is ok,  what email address do I send the Paypal payment to?

Also, do you have a rough idea for the shipping time to California? As I mentioned earlier, I'm not in a big rush, just curious on the time frame.

My full address is

Hello Gary,

The weight of the seats, 4 side panels, and center cover comes to about 15 KG. The kit without the headrests are 12 KG. The kit was designed for the LSA 600 KG MTOW line. We are working on a kit at the moment for the UL (as found a lot here in Europe), and are expecting it to weigh in about 5 KG less. 

Shipping time to California is approx 2 weeks, based on previous experience. 

If you are interested, let me know and give me your email address and I can send you a payment request via paypal.

Regards,

Robert

That weight is a little too much at 15kg.

I have a heavy engine in my plane (an O-235) so I am trying everything I can to keep the weight down.

I currently have an old (used) set of seats and just weighed them with the side panels. They came out to about 15 lbs (6.8kg) total. They're not high backed seats and have no headrest, though. And that weight doesn't include the armrest/ stick cover.  

The end result would be adding another 18lbs (8 kg) which I can't afford.

The UL version would work, but regular price is probably more than I could afford.

It's past my bed time,

Gary

Will the seats fit a 601 HDS?

Thanks!

Hi John,

I don't know for sure... We can check to see. Are you interested in sending me the dimensions of the HDS? Then I can tell you if it will fit. I believe you wont have any problems with the seats themselves, but the center console cover and side panels may be a problem.

Hello Robert,

The spar on the HDS is taller than the XL or 650. I'll try to measure the spar height and send it to you. Also, what was the height of the person who ordered the seats?

Thanks!

John

The spar height will most likely affect the height of the upper knee supports. If you are relatively tall it wont matter. If your shorter (I'd say around 5'9" or less) they may make using the pedals difficult or uncomfortable with a higher spar.  The seat width will be important to know. The width of the center console and the length of both the covered portion and the opening for the stick will be important. For the side panels, measuring the length of the opening at its widest point and its height  The seats aren't manufactured based on height. I am 6'1" and sit comfortably. My wife is 5'9" and sits comfortably. The original seat contour that the airframe makes is kept throughout the seat except for the upper back and thighs which protrude more than the rest of the seat. The entire seat is around 3 inches thick. (If you can imagine the airframe contour + 3 inches). The seats look "thicker" than they are because of the side supports.
