Be sure to check how you fit in the cockpit before building up your seat
cushions. The classic 3-layer sandwich of Conforfoam may be too thick to
give you adequate head clearance, if you are over 5'10". It depends
somewhat on how much you recline the seat back, however. Getting the
seating position optimized was a lot trickier than I expected, especially
when trying to accommodate two pilots of slightly different (1-2") height.
