Pinecone Posted March 8, 2023 Report Posted March 8, 2023 The former owner sent me a box of things that he ran across after the airplane left (THANKS Jason). He included this cushion, pointing out he had NO idea of what it was for. The flip-flop is for scale. The thing is slightly tapered in thickness along the long axis. Quote
Shadrach Posted March 8, 2023 Report Posted March 8, 2023 My F has a rectangular carpet piece that covers the front of the spar below the rear seat (directly behind the rear pax calves. That piece looks a bit too narrow unless those flops belong to Shaq. I doubt the thickness is actually tapered by design. More likely it was subjected to under uneven pressure/wear while in storage or in service. Quote
Pinecone Posted March 8, 2023 Author Report Posted March 8, 2023 Nope, pretty normal size flip-flops It seems to be as made, as the covering is not loose at the thinner end. It is about 2 - 3" thick (I did not measure, just estimating from memory). Quote
kortopates Posted March 8, 2023 Report Posted March 8, 2023 It looks too big to fit right behind the emergency gear extension - the only small rectangular section I can think of. Quote
LANCECASPER Posted March 8, 2023 Report Posted March 8, 2023 It might go between the two rear seats as a portable armrest Quote
Pinecone Posted March 8, 2023 Author Report Posted March 8, 2023 BINGO I just went over to the hangar and took the cushion and came to the same idea. And it works. 1 Quote

Pinecone Posted March 9, 2023 Author Report Posted March 9, 2023 I don't know what he is flying. He was selling the Bruce's full cover set he bought just before he got a hangar, and recognizing the plane, I reached out to say Hi. Quote

Best regards, -a- My kids would pick that little partition up and clobber each other with it. A case of Kirkland paper towels is not adequate to keep them separate. 1 Quote
