Jerry 5TJ Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carusoam Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 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, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry 5TJ Posted July 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
