John,
Since seeing your console in the Show me section, I have been wanting to ask. Do you push the trim control forward to raise the nose? That is what the placarding suggests.

Yes, that is how the trim tabs are rigged. Forward is nose up and back is nose down.

John, That would not be correct and should be changed...
Trim knob being pulled back should simulate the stick being pulled back.. so trim knob back - nose up.. stick back - nose up...
Not to confuse the trim tab direction.. Trim knob forward the trim tab would move up--- deflecting the elevator down thereby nose down...
Re: Show Off Your Upholstery
Thought I might start inject into this one, though I know it is a bit old.
My wife would like to fabricate the inetrior for out Model III. Any on-line good sources out there for the close cell foam and fabric materials that someone could recommend?

Re: Show Off Your Upholstery
For foam, personally, I would get tempur/confor type from Jim fix at http://www.seatfoam.com/ He is the guy that sells the foam in pieces at Oshkosh. There are a couple of other places but Jim is a small business guy and very honest to work with. WIck's and AS sell it also I believe. I wouldn't use plain old close cell from a fabric store as it doesn't seem to have the support that tempur form provides. all opinion of course.
For fabric just do a search for aircraft fabrics but Airtex is one of the bigger suppliers that I know of. Their fabrics are aircraft approved, ie, flame retardent.

I work on corporate jets and know that the seats use foam from "Skandia". I took a seminar at sunnfun and the lecturer recommended the same. So i ordered 2 densities from them. Not cheap though. And shipping was $85. Total bill was nearly $300.

Mine look like this. My daughter gave me Snoopy when I purchased the plane. High tech boost to allow me better sight picture since we converted her to a Tail Dragger is from an REI blow up pad about 1 inch thick.

Re: Show Off Your Upholstery
Attachment 12160For those of you that have the factory upholstery, how did you install the pieces that go to the seat pan? Anyone have any photos of that part of the install? In particular, I am wondering about the three pieces that look like wings Two of the pieces are alike and one is slightly different from the other two. I will try to post a picture of the pieces.
