I use a seat chute in the standard seat in the Skybolt. Whether I use the chute or cushions, my "bum bones" (gluts?) and lower back gets painful after about :30 min. I do not have back/alignment type of problems. I am thinking that it all is due to seat/flying leg angle, etc with no support to distribute my weight. I am going to see if extending the rudder pedals is possible and would help straighten my leg some what to relieve some weight concentration. I am also considering using an "Oregon Aero" lumbar wedge WITHIN my chute. I can not imagine that interfering with an otherwise successful egress.
I am normal size assuming 5'10" 170# is normal. Does anyone else find this problem? Ideas or suggestions? I am in good shape, good core, etc., and have no problems except in this seat.
Thanks,
