Good day netters I am trying to establish how much space there actually is between the pilot and the control stick. The relevance of this is that some folks have shorter legs than others and need to sit closer to the rudder pedals - other folks have bigger paunches and need to sit a bit further back to fit the beer belly in. Some adjustment in the rudder pedals helps, but I need to figure out how much the seat can be moved forward without creating a problem.
I am looking at ways to move the seats closer to the CG so as to reduce the CG shift from one to two occupants. The original design (and every KR I have seen) has the single and dual stick arrangement mounted on the aft surface of the main spar. I would prefer to do the same - this avoids making any extra holes through the main spar. I guess the real question is, how comfortable are different size folks with the present (standard) configuration? Could (should) the stick be further / nearer to the pilot? Thanks Steve J
