OH ya, I too discovered the joys of flying on an unanticipated recliner. I can see how it would cause an accident on takeoff (which is also when it happended to me) if you did not let go of the yoke, and then get yourself upright again quickly (more difficult than it sounds) to continue flying the airplane...

I was also a bit worried about it on the way back down, as turbulence could be a problem. The seatbelt is not much restraint without a seatback. I'm a wimp, I confessed my problem to Unicom before I landed, in case folks were later trying to figure out how I ended up screwing up a landing so badly. Went fine though...

Maybe we should start a LazyBoy club Rick?
