 |

I am 6'4" 200 lb, and do not fit comfortably in the standard 701. The
standard 701 has a flat roof that is much lower than the top of the wing
surface, and a raised seat pan due to the flap control rods. I plan to
continue the wing shape across the top of the cabin and drop the seat
pan to the floor and give myself enough head room for some.
In any case, if you are tall, please go sit in one. There may be other
modifications necessary if you are very leggy.

You might want to do some research, but I think the opening between the
wings serves a purpose. It allows direct prop wash to the horizontal and
elevator. If you raise the center up, with an airfoil, you will get a
little more lift but it won't handle as good at low speeds. The tail
already needs help, closing the center up might make it worse. At least
that's what I think, for what's that's worth.
My wife's son-in-law is 6'4" and 240. He doesn't have all the room he would
like, but is comfortable enough. You might do a few things I did. Move the
dash forward 2", foot petals same, thin seat foam, and don't wear a hat.
Take care, Larry, N1345L, www.skyhawg.com.
