I have a buddy who flew with me numerous times in both the front and rear seats of my RV-10, he is 6' 6' and 280 lbs and he had now issues what so ever. He has now built his own RV-10 and is about to do his first flight in the next couple of weeks, so I guess he loved it.

This is not recommended. Because you sit over the spar, there is limited crush space in the event of a vertical impact, and the cushions, furnished with the kit, are designed for impact energy absorption.

The seat goes down as it goes back. You can build the rudder pedals in two different positions, fore or aft. So you can place the rudder pedals where the seat is as far aft as possible for your body build. That will maximize headroom.
You can also recline the seat back.

Default Demo flight was great

I fit in the 10 quite well, and I'm 6'5 with a long torso. Back seats were way bigger than I expected. Wow.

I was also very impressed with the flying qualities of the 10. And landing it wasn't too tough either...

Now the problem is figuring out who I can call near Chicago to do the pre buy inspection. I'd like to use the same shop for ongoing maintenance and condition inspections.

Can anyone recommend a maintenance shop near Chicago with Vans experience?

Thanks

"Near Chicago" will take on a larger radius with a new 10. I don't have a recommendation, but might specify a distance.
