Hi Mike,

I have flown only with parachute, I sit in front of the hump and the
parachute rests on it. It is quite comfortable, but the support for the
lower back is not optimal/fails. Therefore after a couple of hours your
lower back starts hurting (at least in my case)

Nice looking glider!

Can you give me some additional feedback on how you sit in this seat? Do
you fly this with or without a parachute? When you sit in this seat, is
your but in front of the hump or on top?

How long can you fly before you start feeling uncomfortable?

Thanks,
Mike Schumann

Last Saturday I flew 6.5 hours in my Ka-8. It is fitted with a one-piece
seat, nicely curved like a racing car chair, to include both the seat
and the back.

I flew with a parachute and I was still able to walk after the flight.
Next weekend i will try to make some pictures of the chair.
