I’m not sure if this is the best place for this thread, but does anyone have any recommendations for a seat that would have the center “tunnel” cutout for center-mounted flight controls? I think I’m going to have to make my own, but before I do, I wanted to see what other people were using

 

Thanks!

To answer your original question, no there isn't a seat like that. I searched for many months and made similar posts asking the same question everywhere I could think of. One company said they would be doing it back in 2016 and that never went anywhere. I recommend to get the most comfortable seat you can afford and outfit it accordingly yourself.

My speedmaster flight wasn’t cut out but did have a bracket in the center for the stick. It came with four platforms two off the seat and two forward. I’m not using the forward half of the stup since I’m using a pft puma helicopter controls. The seat is well made with two mini armrest that are adjustable and flip up out of the way. The eat is on a slider track that allows you to slide forward for play back to get up. The back also is adjustable angle. My only gripes are the height is a little low for me to easily get up out of and there isn’t a swivel so you can rotate the seat to the side to get in or out of, an Indiana to permently remove the center stick mount because it was in the way a mount that either swiveled out of the way or base mount would have been better imo. I wish I had the room to use the seat in the center of four different pits my helo I’m using now, a fighter, a commercial or ga and a racing setup since I use vr no monitors are needed. But I live in a rv for other reasons and space is very limited.
