Hey all-
Does anybody know what the material is on seat slings for Piper Cubs and other older planes and where to get it?? To me it feels like super heavy duty canvas with a flame retardant.
Thanks

I did, but they don't carry it.

Maybe call Trivantage, not for sure if they carry it but they offer such a wide variety of materials. Chicago canvas and supply may be another good one to look into. I figured douglas had it all

Quite a few places have flame retardant material if you search the internet. Here is one you might try. https://www.spectra-ip.com/aircraft-pro ... of-flight/
