I have a question for the taller than normal folks flying an 8 or 8A. I have installed the ground adjustable rudder pedals in the fuse, yuppie. I am 6'6" with a 36 inch inseam. Needless to say, the pedals are in the furthest notch forward and when I sit in the cockpit, it is a bit cozy, workable, but cozy. My question is how many people have had problems with the rudder pedals hitting the firewall with full deflection and throw in some braking in there. It might not be a problem. I have installed everything to specs. Also, as I sit in the plane, I throw a foam wedge under my butt and nothing on the backrest, which puts my lower back and butt as far aft as possible, thus giving myself as much leg room as possible, but I still would like a little more room for the legs. I know there is a tall pilot option but as I understand it, this only reclines the back more and doesn't change the amount of leg room. Has anybody had the same problem and performed a mod. I have been thinking of sawing a few inches of my legs off, might be a good time to do it.
