Yeah, I've searched the site and found conflicting information. I'm looking for something else to do while my hand heals and decided I could make the seat. What I *don't* want to do is make something that doesn't work. :grin:
To those that have done it, is the 36" dimension too short? What length is the longest you can go without fouling the stick assembly?
TIA

I followed the plans for my XL and found the 36" length too short. 5'9" avg. build. When sitting in the seat I felt like I was sliding forward. I added an additional 6". Now I feel like I'm more settled in a "sling." It's very comfortable. Plenty of room above the torque tube. Matter of fact, I wish I added 7". Also, it would have been easier to go long and shorten the seat rather then having to lengthen it after finishing it. The width is ok.

Thanks, Pete.. just what I wanted to know.
