I use a 25mm Confor/Dyna Foam type seat cushion, would this help? The

I personally have always used 1" (25mm) of hard Confor Foam + 1" of medium foam in my seats in each of my gliders. and they give great protection as well as a nice firm seat for flying all day.

Also we in the 1-26 fraternity, have a nifty steel reinforced plow installed just forward of the wheel, which is always extended for off field landings, even on hard surfaced runways this little "Plow" will stop you PDQ, and on soft dirt you can actually land in as little as 75' (23m).
