I'm very interested in ideas for seating.
My airplane partner and I are 5'6" and 6'1" respectively. Currently, our RV6A has an aluminum framed seat that the builder, also probably 5'6" built. The frame set up allows for the seat to slide forward and lock... good for the short guy. But, when the seat is all the way back, my legs are fine for the pedals, buy my head hits the canopy.
Currently, we remove the aluminum frame and place the cushions on the floor for me, and visa versa when he us flying. This works, but isn't ideal.
We are considering an updated upholstery seat project for this winter thus, thinking what options are out there to possibly fix our varied pilot height problems.
SUGGESTIONS? Pics would be great too.
THANKS
