Yesterday I was making a stab at doing a 5 hour duration flight in a
1-34. I was wearing a 303 back pack from Strong as the back cushion and
used the bottom seat cushion. I had a lumbar pad in the chute and felt
comfy for about 45 minutes after take off. At one hour I knew I was
gonna be hurting if I made 5 hours. I made 3.5 hours and could have
stayed up another 1.5 easily, the lift was awesome although the bottoms
kept getting in the way. I was a hurting puppy most of last night and
fortunately have a number of physician friends who came thru for me on a
Saturday. I will live.

The seat pan seems to be the problem to me. The three different segments
with the transition from one to the other do not seem to be compatible
with the human back. I'm thinking I could put all the astronaut foam
and support in there but would still have a problem. Any ideas? Has
anyone found a truly comfy way to configure this type of seat:?

Walt
