I am 6ft 2 and weigh 230 plus the Coupe has rudder pedals. My partner is also 6 feet. We both fly together quite a lot. Only thing we have to watch is how much fuel we carry. But after 2 hours we are ready to stretch our legs. Gives us a reason to visit other airports.

I'm over 6 -foot and have long legs. One without pedals worked for me for 10 years. Flew my `coupe through Los Banos, Calif., in 1994 when I went from Roswell, New Mexico, to Salem, Oregon. As to the corrosion issue, Tom, just assure yourself that the A/D's have been complied with and that there are the correct number of inspection holes in the wings and center section. That and look strongly at the center section before you buy. And I'm glad to have another A&P in the group. I got mine last January and got a swell new job in April! Percy in SE Bama
