Your signature says you have a partial RV7. Look at those plans for your seat backs to lean them forward also.

Kyle,

Have the same issue. Haven't corrected it yet.

Been awhile, so you might have already completed the seat project. However, one additional problem that will need to be worked is the length of the lower seat cushion. When the seat back is moved forward the lower seat cushion will not fit in the allowed space between the seat back and the control stick.

Anyway, you might have though of the cushion issue already......but just in case.

Kyle, if you have the overhead pedals, it's easier to remove them than the floor mounted ones, but it might take some fancy twisting to get the pedals out past the control cables for your throttle/mixture/etc.

I suggest pulling them out anyway, or at the very least crawling down in there and looking to see if the rudder pedal SB has been complied with. There should be reinforcements where each vertical tube meets the top tube. My previously owned -6 didn't have this mod when I bought it, and on inspection we found cracks.

Oh, and all of the piano hinges on the cockpit floor are set with pop rivets in my -6. Never been a problem.
