I heard on Discovery channel they cost around 1M a pop, so I'd imagine they
would be out of the homebuilt market. Cheers cam "David Findlay" wrote in message u... Has anyone bought a commercial ejection seat for use on their homebuilt aircraft? Is this even feasible? Thanks, David

I think there is a civil model marketed at $200K.

Actually, you can buy a Russian seat, the KSS-42 manufactured by Zvezda for approximately $70 K. It is an exceptional seat capable of 0/0 with 900 km/hr max velocity. Best part is that it only weighs 45 kgs. compared to 200 lb. plus for the Martin Bakers which cost mega bucks.
