The Moose seat rails are just fine Roger. I've never had mine come
off/separate in almost 400 hours. I even flipped a Moose on its back once
(another sad story) and the seats did not separate from the seat rail! To
prevent the seat from moving back too far, I tapped the seat rail and simply
hand-turn a bolt in there depending on which position I want the seat in.

hello

I have been told by another Moose builder that the 'clip' part of the seat
that
grips on to the rail bent on both of his front seats during a flight and
the seats
separated from the rails.

Has anyone else experienced this? and does anyone have any good ideas on
fixes to stop this happening?

They do look pretty flimsey so I'm keen to do something but don't want to
re-invent the wheel.

thanks for the re-assuring words. I must admit, I've tried to bend the
seat attachments in situ with no luck. So maybe the other builder had
poorly made ones that were not as hard in that area.

It just worried me as I've had the pilot seat let go on my Cessna 421 during
an approach and it was not fun.
