I requested, and received my material samples from Classic Aero Designs last week. This will be the company I buy all of my cockpit accessories from. I really like their products, it will give the plane a professional, production look and feel to it.
This will include side panels, carpeting and of course the seat upholstery and embroidery. While building an airplane, you have to function much like a project manager, there are always details that need to be researched and decided upon. To run a successful project without delays, you will have to always be ahead of the game in your planning for long lead items. I'm certainly not ready for the upholstery yet, but the time, at least for me, will be here sooner rather than later.
The ones on the left are the 'ultra leather' samples, the others are leather. I gotta say, the ultra leather is pretty impressive. I originally was planning on leather, but now I am undecided after seeing the samples. The ultra leather feels nice and is lighter and cheaper than the leather. Hmmmm...gotta ponder this.
