I installed my Easy Exit Bar in the 6A last weekend and used it for the first time. As a relatively limber 60-something Boomer, I didn't notice much benefit over my well-entrenched entry and exit habits in the cockpit - but my 70 year old frequent passenger sure did, and I know it made am immediate difference for him.
Installation required a bit of "persuasion" to get the end tabs over the bolts, but in the end did not require jacking the plane nor moving the gear leg bolts either side. Maybe a fifteen minute process at worst.
Clever idea, and a welcome addition to my aircraft.
