If I slide the seat where they need it, we can’t turn because the yoke hits my knees. Independently adjustable seats are the only option for me.
Go buy a nice fancy Oregon Aero seat cushion, or the Woman I bought mine from used a boat cushion behind her back.

For any one curious, the STC is $200 from Lowe. I spoke with MacFarlane, and their seat rails by the inch, for 84" of rails comes to $175, plus $30 if you want them to cut the rails to length for you.

So you're looking at $405, plus the seats, and labor to install.

...maybe best to find (...build/convert?) a David Lowe 150 taildragger? The best of both...a great trainer with 150 seats already installed (A "$2,000 bonus" right off the top of the acquisition cost ;) ). Mac
BTW: This picture was taken at David Lowe's airstrip in Sacramento, Kentucky.
