now is the time to plan your seat!!
Go to your nearest upholstery distributor and order your foam and take it to a upholsterer that does work on boats or RV's. I got a deal on the foam, $12.95. The upholsterer that I found does boats and convertables. He did my seat in Red and Black, for $150, first class job. The foam is 3 inches thick. It has snaps on the back at top on a flap the goes over the back.
I do not know how these people justify the thousand dollar plus seats.
Send me an e-mail address and I will send you a picture.

DJ at Cleveland Tool made my seat and it's perfect. She sent me fabric sample so I could make a choice to go with the interior colors. Very high quality seat Larry v.

I talked with the folks at Oregon Aero are Sun and Fun last year and they were working on a seat for the Panther. I would think it should be available by now, I use a local upholstery shop for my seat and am very happy with it.
Also am very happy with the Panther as it is a blast to fly acro with.

I think I remember that Cleveland Tools is building seats for the Panther. I wish I had known that before I purchased mine.

I am ways from needing it, but starting to wonder where to source the seat when the time comes. Please share your sources!
