    FWIW it is exactly the same as the KF3 seat. Next time I'm at the hanger I can measure the width at the front and back of the seat.

    Hey not a problem at all thanks for offering to help. I could always call Kitfox but I figure there phone rings enough and there is 1000 guys on here wanting to talk about airplanes. You would think some one on here has a pair 10 feet away from them in there garage.

    19” tall
    19” width at top
    15” width at bottom
    2” thick at bottom
    1 1/2” thick at top also sculptured for lumbar support.

    a bit pricey but they are comfy. It’s just another airplane part!

    I am having trouble with the seat interfering with the stick. I think mine are too long. They measure 19".
    Did Kitfox make an error?

    My seat bottoms have a notch cut out for stick clearance.

    My seat has an indentation. I would not call it a notch. All of the pictures I have seen of the Kitfox seats look the same.
    My RV-6 seat has a section about 6" x 4" cut out.

    Mine seemed a little long in that direction too (Model 5). What I do is install them first with the front edge even with the front of the seat pan, then I put in the seat backs.

    I am putting in the seat bottom first and then placing the backs on top of the seat cushion.
