Cockpit head clearance
 
Hi all,

I'm looking at purchasing a 7 but haven't had a chance to sit in one to see if I fit in!
I'm 6"4', will I have enough leg and head room?

Cheers
Albert

It all depends on how it is set up. I am 6'5" and fit fine. I built with the rudder pedals all the way forward and did not extend the panel down 2" as some builders do. I only have about 3" headroom but it works.

Same as Mark.
I am 6'4 and no problem.
Use thin cushions also.

Size Matters... if you don't want to go with a -14

If it's tight there are options to help.
