Seriously more details! Well, it's an "Old Fart" ejection seat. I've got a knee that's gotten so bad, I was having trouble lifting myself out of the cockpit. I adapted a portable "Lift Seat" intended for elderly folks. Added a 110V inverter to power it. Lifts me about eight inches in ~20 seconds. Here's an animated GIF (that runs fast) showing the amount of lift: http://www.wanttaja.com/seat.gif My wife says this looks like "Whack-a-Ron"..... Ron Wanttaja That's the gentlest ejection I've ever seen. Too cool.
