Filing Flight Plan
Greetings,
I have been looking at some RV-6As lately. I had a C150 and decided to move up to a faster plane.
I'm no light-weight but, never had any problem fitting in the C150.
The RV has wider cabin width, and appear roomier.
Recently, I sat in a RV-6A and noticed that the stick would not quite make full travel to the left without pinching my leg. It also appeared, a bit tight in the crotch when pulled fully back. Other than that, there appeared to be plenty of room. (even with the homebuilt console between the seats)
My question is:
Is the seat structure adjustable? Moving it back a couple inches would have cured the problem.. Or,
Is the base position of the control stick adjustable?
Moving it forward would serve better considering the foot position felt right on the rudder/brakes..
Just wondering?
