    Hi Tony,

    I don't have the templates (that was years ago when I had them made), but it is simple - just get some poster board and cut the appropriate shapes and tape together.  Most upholsterers can figure it out from there.  Probably showing the picture of the skirt and boot to them will help, too.

    As for the seats - what I meant is rather than have a straight edge across the front of the bottom cushion, make a U shaped cut out for the stick and extend the front of the cushion several inches towards the rudder pedals.  The way mine are now, when my feet are on the rudder pedals, they prop-up my thighs a bit and that puts all the pressure on my butt.  OK for short low and slow flights, but on long cross countries its not as comfortable as it would be if some of that weight is supported by the backs of the thighs, too.  

    Would love to see some pics posted when you come up with a design!

    John

    Hi Tony. I haven’t installed the autopilot yet, still in the planning stages.  I’m waiting to hear back from Dynon as far as their recommendation on servos for the Cruzer.  I’m not sure how to start a chat.
