Anyone Cut Down Seat Backs?

[Jgibson]

Anyone cut down the seatbacks on RV6? I'm looking to make it easier to get out (bad shoulders) and easier access to baggage area in-flight.

Also: I'm thinking of lengthening the rudder cable links to the pedals to move the pedals back one inch. I have plenty of room back there because I believe the builder fit the pedals to himself. And he's about 5'8 while I'm 6'1''.

And I may even considering adding/moving a hinge receiver back on the seat pan (closer to the seat belt attach points). Looks like I can pick up another inch there if I need it.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance to the most helpful, knowledgeable users-group I know.
