Brief Description:  Leather Upholstery Arrives - Part 1

The leather upholstery from Classic Aero Designs arrived yesterday. In a word: BEAUTIFUL! Very professional looking and something you'd see in a fine Italian sports car! The supple leather feels so nice sliding down into. Everything fit very nicely including the LCD screen and rear-view camera in the pilot's head rest. The arm-rests also fit nicely as did the stick boots. The comfort of the leather and ComforFoam combination can only truly be experienced to be appreciated! I'm so glad that I took the extra time and foam cutting iterations to get the seats cut just right and the relationship of the arm-rest height and width just right. When you sit in either the front or the back seat, your hands and arms fall very comfortably on to the throttle and stick. It almost feels like an extension of one's own body. Very cool indeed!!

The second try on the Baggage area carpet pieces and the right side main cabin area carpet piece were shipped today. All four pieces are just raw cut from the carpet for now so that I can trial fit and "adjust" as necessary. I'll then send them back to Classic Aero to have the backing installed along with the binding and surging.
