Title: What kinda chair do you guys use?
Post by: EHM-1358 Tim on April 26, 2004, 06:32:42 pm: I know it sounds really stupid but what kind of chair do you use when you flying.

Mines just a swivel chair. But its not good for sitting down for long periods (maybe i should put a cushion on it).

But the strange thing for me is that that the chair is moulded into the shape of my ass ;D.

So what kind do you guys use. A nice leather chair or carved log?

Cheers,

Alex;)

P.S. It isnt that stupid of a question, i've wondered that sometimes too.

Having used the latest technology to analyse the chemical and physical construction of the pilot's cushion in a boeing 747 we supply you with 'arse 'o' sim'. The ultimate in backside technology. Now your butt can too feel what the butt of every real 747 pilot feels - yours for just £299.99

;)
There are some things that even an obsessive like me don't get worked up over - just sit down and fly will ye!

Funny you should say that Phil. PFC (Precision Flight Controls) does a jetliner cockpit setup that uses leather seats as fitted in a business jet; can't remember which offhand...

One of those damnedably uncomfortable back chairs (the sort that are two cushions that you sort of kneel on...) It has a smaller footprint than an ordinary office-styleee swivel chair and it doesn't move about much once you sit on it...

You can switch between the flight controls, the wheel and a normal keyboard

Post by: EHM-1201 Scott on April 29, 2004, 10:36:41 pm: lol thats what i thought at first!

anyway, i use a nice big leather chair that swivels and has an ottoman! i bought it after i was finished re-doing my room. But most of the time on long flights i walk away after i engage autopilot.

Post by: EHM-0962 Zhen Yi on May 04, 2004, 09:59:01 am: nice setup but looks kind of unstable......for me i sit on a flat wooden dining chair with no cushion at all........that's right very hard and uncomfortable, and to top it all it has a striped back support with well cuts into my back
