Short Pilot
At Oshkosh I asked about short pilots. My daughter (5'2") will be flying the -12. The Van's guy said it was going to be more difficult to fit her than a tall guy. In our -6 I have to add 3" blocks on the rudder pedals.
In the -12 article that just came out in Sport Aviation there is a comment quoting Van as saying something to the effect of "maybe we should put in another hinge" for a 5'7" pilot. I think that will be our solution but not until after it has been built and inspected. I looked at the seat pans (already done) and it would be easy to install one or even two more hinges.
