    Default SI0037 - Aft Seat Installation

    A new SI for the CC11 just popped up SI0037. It appears to be a solid seat replacement for the existing aft sling seat, but only for the CC11 aircraft. There is no explanation for the SI and it is "optional and not required". Of interest there does not seem to be an SI for EX/FX aircraft that, I think, use the same aft seat.

    Anyone have more details? Will new aircraft come with a solid seat?

    Interesting. I didn't see anything on the weight (increase?) nor to redo a weight and balance.

    It would be a nice option for the EX/FX series especially if you could tilt it forward to gain access to the baggage areas.

    Just came out with SK-SI005 for CCK-1865 &-2000 series.

    My wife hates the sling seat I've ridden there once. $5200 starting price. Happy wife vs $5200 tough call.

    Yeah, I think $5K for a rear seat is asking a bit much. I'd consider it in the 2K range.

    Considering this also applies to the C11 certified Sport Cub, you can imagine the engineering, testing and cost of paperwork to get this modification out.

    Don't know if $5200 is a bargain or not, but it looks like some nice engineering that will add a safe second seat to your plane.

    I looked at SK-S1005. Based on a review of figure 7 I'd say the seat will tilt if moved all the way forwards but that will require removing and replacing the pip pins. If those pins are as awkward as the front seat pins I wouldn't want to do it very often.

    Anyone seen a price for the kit (assuming there is one)?.

    I saw those pins on the drawing, that's almost enough to make the install not worth the time and effort!

    And all up it has to be heavier than the cloth sling it replaces. Odd there is no W&B notation in the SI.

    It's a nice option for those interested, but the CFO that rides in the back of our EX-2 has no complaints about the sling seat. Plus, when you need to get in the back, I would think it would be easier with the sling.
