Cockpit size

6'3" here, 200 lb. and 36" inseam (long legs/medium torso build) and I have plenty of room in my RV-9A.

My fist will fit between the top of my headset and the canopy. I went for the standard panel, as the extended one can hit the tops of your thighs. And with no center tunnel or console to speak of, on longer stints I can fully extend my right leg to the right of the rudder pedals, or into the right seat footwell when flying solo. Being able to stretch out like this can sure make a 3-hour leg of an x-country more comfortable.

But how do you scoot forward to pee in a gatoraid bottle with the stick in the seat like that?

Playing golf keeps me flexible. :D Used the pee bottle a couple of times during my treks to Oshkosh.

Most of my mid-length flights are about 1.5 to 2 hours, so no pee break needed.
