Thanks guys !!

Bruce,I bought the leather from B&B, the foam from Jim Fix then went to my local car interior guy, drew him what I wanted and out it came. To be honest they did not come out as planned and will be fixed at some point but must say at this point mighty comphy!

Looks like a Pro shop did the interior ! It needs to be comfortable ! ;) If you are going to spend hundreds of hours with your young rear end strapped to the seat it had better feel good ! ::) Does it smell like a "new car ? " ??? BOOM !

"Thunderous Applause!"

Looks like yet another T18 will be picking up trophies at OSH this year.

Well done, Lee. I can't wait to see her in person.

Lee, Looks awesome. can't wait to see it in person. I'll have to look and see what the switches and valves on the inside do. It's exciting to have new Thorps flying.

Looks really good doesn't it. I can't wait to fly your wing if you will back off enough to let me keep up.
