Av8rPaul, the thin conforfoam seat cushions are more comfortable than the old style 4 and 5" foam as they contour to fit the body, so are an advantage.
The later style seats have a slightly higher back, are stronger and have a longer base allowing more legroom though there is a tiny bit of weld work needed to adapt new seat to old airframe.

I'll have to go find a newer model with the thin seats and try it out again. I really have to have comfort for my wife and I as we'll be doing a lot of vacationing in the bird...she fortunately is half my size.
I won't give yet...just need to find a thin seat to sit in.
Jeremy...I sent you a PM

Going another direction...
After much thought, I've decided to order a Bearhawk quick build kit and do it the way I want.
Like the Maules a lot but I've test flown the Bearhawk and I fit well, plus I've wanted to build or rebuild an airplane for a long time.

I'll have it flying in about 12 months from the time I start the QB kit. I'm slightly skilled and my build partner is an A&P/IA who has built and rebuilt many airplanes in Alaska for decades. Plus I'm home about 15 days a month which helps a ton.MrHRC wrote:If you want to fly- buy a flying aircraft.
If you want to build one - get a kit.
These are two completely different hobbies.

That is an extraordinarily ambitious schedule for a plane build, but it has been done before, so more power to you! I honestly think of the Bearhawks (the four place ones anyway) as being in the extended Maule family, so I'd be interested in hearing how it goes.Av8rPaul wrote:I'll have it flying in about 12 months from the time I start the QB kit.
