I have the following measurements for you, Floor to top of stick 530mm, top
of thigh support to top of stick 305mm, stick fully back top of stick to top
of back rest 580mm and stick fully back to the point where the back rest
starts to angle back 480mm. I am sorry I forgot to get the max forward
position that can follow if you need it.
I am 5ft 10in and have found it best to sit as high as possible - landing
are less exciting. I have also noted that my thighs get in the way of full
aileron travel either way, but rate of turn is so good that it has not
caused a problem.
Hope this helps
Regards
Richard

Hi Richard,
Out of the blue, thank you. I noticed when I went flying with Remi that I needed to sit up high. I approximated I needed 4" of height, and therefore more like 6" cushions,,at 5'9". I have made up a timber platform at this height, but because I haven't got my doors on or top on, permanently as yet, I can't see if my head is going to hit. We'll,see.,I did notice the thigh clearance issues, but I reckon if you wriggle you might be able to get more, if push came to shove. Thanks for the dims. I am in LA, but when I get home I will,run a tape and see what I come up,with. I realise though that the longer the stick, or the shorter probably doesn't make too much difference because it is the physical limitation of the side of the fuselage that stops stick displacement. You just have to make sure that your grip doesn't stop you getting full travel. Thanks again for the help.
Regards
