What did you do there? Deep cleaning and conditioning? Curious about what product. Looks great! |

Looks good. You can get rid of the wrinkles with a hand held steamer....

Thanks guys, these are brand new leather skins I purchased and I rebuilt the seats entirely taking them down to their bare frame, new foam padding, horse hair and clips incl. cleaning all the electric motors. Its a fairly big job and a few weekends worth of work, but the smell and the "look" once the door is open makes it worthwhile. I've never attempted this before at home, but wasn't bad and if I can do it, anyone can!

Those seats turned out fantastic
That looks way harder than doing the seats in a bug or a 914

That cockpit is amazing, what aircraft is that exactly? Does it have a windshield you are looking out of?
 Dumb questions from a non-aviator but when landing, are you using visual data through windshield or just electronics?

Mid July, 90 and 25 pounds, left to right
 Today, 90 and 65 pounds, left to right, what is that, 10 pounds a month? 6 month old Dutch Shepherd, his feet still have that snowshoe thing working. That works out to like a buck and a quarter fully grown, I think.

Very nice, JW.
PS: We still need to have a beer at the Pattenburg when you're passing through.

On landing you are using visual reference unless you're shooting to minimums and on an instrument approach. |
