  • Folding rear seat for easy baggage access

    I experimented with paper hinge patterns and came up with this setup. Bearhawk scratch-builder Jerry Rogers then welded it up for me. I think it works out pretty good! It did add one pound but I think the convenience is worth it

    I think you forgot to include the picture but I am anxious to see it. I am also planning to do something to make it easier to get into the baggage area but haven't finalized my plan yet.

      I hinged my back seat too. Rather than modifying the existing frame, I opted to start from scratch. I'll try and post a few pics of my frame before unholstering was completed. And there are some pics in this forum that I posted in may of 21. It's made do the bottom can hinge up or the back hinges forward.
      I got the idea from John Middletons LSA.

          Those are nice! I saw your post a while back and think that’s when I started thinking about doing it too.
