I am sure there are five foot pilots who can fly this plane by reaching the pedals, right, so being 6 plus feet, it doesn't make sense this (short??) position is right. Is there any other individual around my height, who can help me out, where did you final place the pedals. ( I am using the chair kit sold by vans) Also the gap between the pedals and the floor seems quite large, is our feet to rest in the pedal (hang in there) or, are tippy toes resting against the bottom edge of them. Bill, having fun fun fun, just love this challenge.
