Well, after putting these in I’m wishing I had the old crushed velvet. The bottom cushion is perfect, but the back cushion is thicker than what I had and I don’t fit in plane now without removing back cushion. I have an email in to Oregon Aero to have them make a super thin back cushion. Reality is that I’m just to big for a Maule.
Anyone ever modify the seat rails on a Maule to get the seat back farther.

So I have not done the rear seat yet but plan to. I was not sure I was ready to part with all of my AMU’s. The front seats are about $750 AMU’s each. You can choose from any combination of materials or colors etc. Be prepared to part with your seats for no less than 1 month.
I am contemplating building a removable bracket to extend the pilot seat only. But we will see.

Alright, here is a partial PIREP. The seats are far more comfortable than my old stock seat which was worn out beyond any reasonable limit. I also find that the seats are better than good condition stock seats because the cushions are form but supportive and don’t feel like you are sitting on an airbag. Sadly though as stated before I am having to remove the back cushion to fit in the plane. Also, today I flew with my instructor for a BFR and we quickly discovered that even he needed the back cushion removed. He is not a terribly large man and could be described as fairly average size to slightly larger. So, the seats must be redone. I’m thinking a 1†foam is about all you want on the back cushion.

You kind of have to send them your seats. Maule can help to a degree, but they can be a bit of a road block as well. I’m sure a local upholstery shop can do it for a fraction of the price, just might not have the same quality materials, namely foam. But that said, I’m not 100% sure you will know the difference at the end of the day.

Jay;
I would drop them a note: customerservice@oregonaero.com Since they have done a fair number of Maule seats they may be amenable to shipping components for customer install. Long shot but worth a try.
