Hi Friends,

  

  

 There is somebody who would like to buy a Tri-Gear kit but he is a  really imposant boy.

  

 145 kg x 183 cm

  

  

 I guess, in this case some Mod's are necessary:

  

 Mod 64: High Top  - do I need that with 183 cm  ?!?  

 Mod 24: Modification to increase seat width - this is especially good for  more "bum space"

 Mod 67: Cockpit width increase (now standard with new kits)

      

 Bubble typ door windows ? They do not like really nice, do they?

  

 I think, that is all we could do or have I missed something.

 Maybe some of you have some more ideas?

  

 Best Regards,

  

 Bruno

A good answer to this problem is to modify the human body itself!

Exactly!

  

 I was flying w my friend 13,5 hrs

 to the Endelave Fly-inn in Denmark 

 and back to Finland during  3+ days.

  

 He is a big boy and his  height

 is 195 cm /77". My Europa is profiled

 for me (175 cm) and P2 seat for my wife (172  cm).

 We took the seat away and this brave man sat 

 whole trip on the on the  plywood sheat only you know.

  

 His rear parts and back were quite  stressed

 and he promised me to have some 

 surgical operations like shorten  his spine

 before next summer´s scheduled adventures.

 This is only to get some leather and temper

 foam under.

  

 Must be wonderful to sit on Europa´s P2  seat!

  

 Wishes, Raimo

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]-->  I'm not quite so heavy: 100 Kilos, but even taller: 190.5 cm.

  

 So far, I'm hoping to fit in a Europa under construction on Reno.

Well I'm 183cm, and had no problems with the  height in a friends 90% complete kit, Mind you I only weigh about 75-80 kg,  I am about 100 hours into my kit, One  thing I am considering is narrowing the

 tunnel about 2 to 3 inches, mostly for the  leg width so you have room to move about a bit on the

 longer flights
