Wanted to BORROW Pilot Seat M20R

[Jerry 5TJ]

I am going to have some interior update work done on my Ovation.  The installer would like to get the seats for 10 days.  It would be great to borrow a seat that works in the pilot side of my 2000 M20R.  Does anyone have one to lend or rent for a few weeks?   I will come get it within a few hours flight of Baltimore, and return it after use.

Jerry -- you are more than welcome to the seat I pulled out my "R"

It wasn't the most comfortable seat though.

You having the work done at Donegal Springs? Like to check it out.

This matches the carpet better.

I have never seen an M20R but in my F model the pilot and copilots seats are identical.  If the same is true in your aircraft, why don't you send the seats one at a time?

Thanks, I'm trying to send all 4 at once.  At worst, I'll send 3 and then swap front seats out.

You might find that the seat belts are not the same on the two front seats.

But I can install the copilot seat and fly from the right side, yes?

The seat belts in my J easily unclip and can be swapped between seats.

Something to consider...

the MSC in NJ has a few extra parts including some sets of seats (I saw a few years ago), they probably fit the same rails.

my idea here is if they have seats in stock, one is all you need... Give them a call and ask.

Best regards,

Do you have brakes on the right?

There are brakes on the right, no, that's not the reason...

How are you ever going to join the mile high club like that?

The logistics worked out fine, the plane was only "down" 4 days for annual and new interior.  Looks great and with new foam it "sits" fine, too.
