Anyone know the Drawing number for the Aft Seat? I have Drawing number 33 labelled "Backseat", which is for the seat behind pilot. I do not have a drawing for the Aft seat. Anyone have a reference for the aft seat? Or maybe some key dimensions? I am making a CAD model of the seats to facilitate upholstery.

Are you referring to this seat design?

I would just take it and scale it to the size needed for the aft position, I would think the overall shape would be the same. If you look at the attach points in the fuselage for this seat, then give the same offset for the aft position, then scale from there, I would think you would be close.Last edited by Untainted123; 08-07-2025, 09:31 AM. -
I actually ended up measuring the existing seat and using that for the model. The aft seat has more taper to the sides than the middle seat. Here is a screen shot of the two seats where you can see the difference.

When I received my Patrol Plans about ten years ago it came with a book called "The Patrol Book." That book had things like the engine cowl and seats. Lots of stuff! You'll need that reference. I suspect the book is a collection of ariticles Bob wrote for the News Letters.

Guess I omitted some important info in my original post. Was looking for the aft seat plans in the BH 5. Oops. Got the info I needed though so now off to make seats with the foam cutter.Comment
