Does anyone know of anyone who could supply a purpose made cushion for a DA42?

There was an old thread on but that was a number of years ago now. I was working with a 42 previously and it had a purpose made booster by an aviation accessory company.

Any help greatly appreciated, cause I can’t see out the front!

For my DA40, I bought some Confor energy absorbing foam, made a cutout for the stick (easy with a sharp knife), and got a local upholstery shop to cover it. You can buy it at glider shops, including the BGA (https://bgashop.co.uk/cart/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=148)

Thanks, I will probably try that. My company were happy to pay for it to be made up f I could find someone that was all. Cheers

These guys come to mind, in the US. Don't know if they ship overseas or not:

Custom cut to your specs then have it covered by an automotive shop.
