Hi all,
I am looking at taking job that is 75 miles away from home and looking at possibilites of commute/stay over.
Its only a 30 minute flight but of course the fuel and would add up pretty quick...I.e 250 hours per year if done daily.
But what if I stayed overnight 2 nights a week??..well thats 150hr/year..thats doable (it is likely the saving of property tax increase near to this major city might pay for the commuting anyway).
But where to stay?..So I'm 5'8" and was wondering if I pulled out the PX seat back and cushions if there is enough room to lie flat (with the rudder pedals folded up) between the rear bulkhead and firewall?...
I think I'd need some styrofoam to make the three areas level (and not have the flap horizontal bar poking me in the back (maybe a simply plywood "shelf" to make the footwell level with the spar.
I was thinking if its possible to get flat then it should be quite comfortable. The airport is secure with a fence and provided I use a canopy cover then it would just look like a parked airplane,...
Thoughts?
