Oregon Aero Seat Cushions for DA40 DA42 etc.

If this is not allowed here please remove. I have a brand new pilot cutout seat from Oregon Aero (still in plastic) which includes the bottom pad as well as a lumbar pad. It was $225 new. Will sell for $150. I also have a second (same) pilot cutout pad which is only the seat portion (no lumbar). The...

Re: Source for the DA40 plastic brake hose holders?

I am producing them using a 3D printer and material is ASA very high resistance against UV and yellowing. My metal brake cables snap right in. Much better looking than electrical tape. Steve - Many thanks for sending me the brake line clips. Very nice work indeed! They look (and feel) like a qualit...

Re: New Seats and Interior in the 40!

Just a reminder: this Jason Cooper who also operated under "Custom Aircraft Trimmers" in the UK is a crook. I made the mistake of letting him do the interior of my Extra 400 without getting customer references. He insulted me, ripped me off, blackmailed me and got me to pay an additional ...

Re: New Seats and Interior in the 40!

Very Nice. Those look a lot like the Coopers Cabin Craft ones in the UK. Did you use those as reference or did they just happen upon a nearly identical design. https://cooperscabincraft.com/lightaircraft.html Believe it or not I happen to like that "Bentley" cross stitch look which also h...

Re: New Seats and Interior in the 40!

The lumbar support looks amazing! I bet that is going to make a huge difference comfort wise for longer flights I think you're the only one that caught that (or mentioned it). I had him build in the extra lumbar because as we all know ... the OEM seats are less that perfect in terms of overall comf...

He works with his wife and some other family members I think. I believe they are all involved. Believe me ... I wasn't complaining!

Re: New Seats and Interior in the 40!

Do you have contact info for him? I think its time to refresh my airplane too! I'm in San Diego. Hey Lance. It's best to call his wife (she runs the business side) as she actually answers her phone. Josh who does the work is always busy doing Gulftstream interiors so he never answers his phone. Her...

Re: New Seats and Interior in the 40!

I'll have to keep that in mind on our '06 Da-40. The front seats could use some new foam, and adding the lumbar support would be nice. Is this an adjustable support, or just a fixed one? My plane is a 06 as well. The lumbar is fixed. It's pretty centrally located and not so obtrusive as to be an is...

Re: New Seats and Interior in the 40!

One thing I forgot to mention. I had him install lumbar support (the slight bump in the two front seats). I don't know about everyone else but I always felt like the OEM seats didn't have enough back support. These are a vast improvement over the factory seats from a comfort standpoint.

Re: New Seats and Interior in the 40!

Stunning. Thanks for the recommendation. That's local and I'll stop over to see what other stuff they do. I'm working on trying to get my headsets better squared away. He does most of his work for Gulfstream (his main job) so doing jobs like this are sort of on the side for him. He's not always the...
