    What aspects of the larger airframe seats are you looking for?

    Seat bottom

    17 1/2” long
    15 1/2” rear width
    17” front width
    3” thick with sculptured butt relief about 2” thick

    seat back

    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!

    Does anyone have the series 4 seat measurements don’t trust my measurements. Would like those off the series 4 seat. Have a 3 dat trip planned for May and would like them completed by then. My one piece seat is very uncomfortable

    Are these the new seats that Kiftox sells for the 4?

    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.
