 |
|
I have a friend who is interested in building a 701. He recently found
a completed plane in which he could sit to see how his frame fits. He
is 6' - 1" but has very long legs in relation to his torso. When he sat
in the plane and put his feet on the pedals, he said the top of his
knees were above the top of the Y yoke. This hindered him from moving
the yoke to either side. I'd like some suggestions on how others have
overcome this problem or must he look at alternate planes? Thanks for
your help. Robert Schoenberger 701 60%

on the older 701's there was a " most forward or most back" position for
installing the rudder pedals. Maybe the plane he sat in had the "most
forward" position when built.

Had the same problem, I'm 6'1". I moved my instrument panel two inches
forward. I also mounted my petals as far forward as possible. My
son-in-law is 6'4" and has no problems. Larry N1345L

I'm also 6'1". I built my 701 from a new kit. I moved the rudder pedals about an inch and a half forward Everything else is according to plans.
I feel comfortable in it
