() ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 05:16:27 PM PST US From: Subject: KIS-List: Options for tall pilots? Hello, I was looking at a used TR-1 and just fit in it when sitting on the seat without any cushions, as long as I don't try to tip my head to the left. Not feasible for flying, but close enough to ask if there have been any approved/demonstrated modifications to provide more headroom on an already built and flying TR-1. Two thoughts were to lower the seat by adding another shorter main gear box stiffening rib in front of the main gear box and shortening the existing stiffening rib that is at the aft side of the gear by an inch to lower the seat by an inch. Second consideration was to recline the seat back a little more (seems more involved). Not expecting to see these as having been done, and not wanting to be the first, but checking all available resources before moving beyond the TR-1. Thanks, John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kis-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/KIS-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kis-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kis-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
