Hi
Currently fly a Skyranger swift, with standard seats fitted
Finding them a tad uncomfortable for any flight longer than an hour or so.
What are the bucket seats like, are they more comfortable?
Ps I am 6`4" tall, always going to be a bit tight

Don't know about bucket seats, but have you got the tall pilot option fitted?

I forget the detail but it simply allowed the back of the seat to drop down an inch or so to give a bit more headroom.

Talk to Mark Hilton at Micro Maintenance, Darley Moor Airfield. There is nothing they don't know about Skyrangers and they do lots of seat upgrades including heated.

I fitted them to my Skyranger and they were a significant improvement, far more supportive and comfortable (5'"11 but with a long torso) easy Mod if expensive for what you get, you re use the original seat base and there is a supposed small mod to the cable pulley block for cable clearance though in my case this wasnt needed as clearance was ample.

Yes, I have already spoken to Mark
And he assured me they were more comfortable, and even offered to take me up in his Skyranger to show me the difference.
Just wondered what others thought, before heading off to Darley Moor
