I did 3hrs in the front of a K-7, that was torture. I came down from cloud
base just to get out. Being 6'1" it was a little cramped. Ended up doing my
5hrs in a K-18.

My flighted ended at 3.9 hrs. While it was torture, the lift ended.
Otherwise I would have finished.

Hi Mike... so, that 5hr flight ended at 2hrs, eh? I'm afraid our K8
was designed to accomodate a parachute cushion. You might check with
Stephen Nesser - when he was serious about K8 xc he made up some
cusions from "memory foam" high tech material. He may have some other
suggestions about how to relieve the torture.

Our club has a K8 with extremely uncomfortable seating arraignments.
Basically we are using a combination of foam pieces and misc cushions to
try
to make the glider usable. After about 2 hours, it is pure torture.
