I recently sold my beloved RV6A "Stubbs" with the goal in mind of picking up a -6 (tailwheel) with an O360 and a constant speed prop. That will take some time it appears, so in the mean time I'm considering other options. Are there any 6'2" RV4 drivers out there? I have a long lower torso and would like some feedback on the comfort on a cross country trip.
More information: when I bought my RV6A it did not have the "Almost a 10" modification. After approximately 45 minutes of flight time, my knee and hip joints wold start to burn from being at the wrong angle.
After I performed the seat modification moving the last piano hinge row on the bottom back 11'4" and the upper sear rail back according to the modification specs (appoximately 2"), I was able to ride in the plane for hours with no ill effects.
So if any tall pilots have experience with the RV4, your input would appreciated.
