I'm getting ready to purchase and build the new super sport and I was just wondering how many big guys fit comfortably in this plane?  I'm 6'4" and I don't see much room to stretch the cabin.  How tight is the kitfox cabin for tall people.  



I saw the Super Sport review in Kitplanes from this year and Mr McBean seems to be around six footish and appears to fit comfortably.  Any help?

I am 6' and 240# and a friend of mine is 6'2" and 230# both of fit  

just fine with John McBean in the right seat. Plenty of room on all  

directions in the SuperSport.

I am 6'5" and 200 lbs.  I fit in the 5,6,7, Super Sport, but not in the

model 4.  My wife made a custom seat cushion for me with nearly no cushion

toward the back under my butt or back, but with a lot at the front of the

seat for thigh support.  I used to worry about bouncing up and hitting my

head in turbulence, but I have been in some pretty good stuff and it hasn't

happened yet.



I have had some pretty big passengers and elbow room is tight.   The bubble

doors would help a lot for this.

Thanks a lot for the help fellas. It seems that I'll probably fit no problem at all.
