I'm wondering which position to install my rudder pedals.  I am 5'10".  Anyone out there no the height limits for fore and aft positions?

I am 5'10" and the forward position seems to work out fine for me. My seat cushion sits about 1" aft of being even with the vertical face of the footwell. Unless you are a very short pilot I would be hard pressed to see why you would use the aft position. Even then you could use a spacer of wood or aluminum to extend the pedals aft.

You gonna let anyone under 5'6" or so be on the pedals?  If not, I'd  

go forward and reap the cg loading and rear seat space benefits.  But,  

if you may want anyone 5'6" or less to fly it, I'd seriously look at  

going with the aft location.  I just know that 5'2-4" won't work with  

the forward position very well.

Thanks,



My little woman is 5'6" .  If she can't fit I will have her wear her hooker boots.

Did she get those so you could get your G900 dream panel this year?

My woman is 5'2 but we call them 'Ho-Ho' shoes. They will work.

I wish I could afford the G900.  I told my wife if she buys more shoes and clothes than I will start omitting stuff in the plane like: her seat belt, cabin heat and her side door.

She makes the money I hope she doesn't read this. (DO NOT ARCHIVE!!!)
