Hello everyone,
I am considering buying or building an RV7 or RV8. One challenge is my wife / co pilot has a bad left leg. She really must have this leg elevated when sitting for long periods of time. Something like it sitting on a footstool when sitting on a couch.
For the RV-7, I've thought I could make the main pilot seat on the right side of the aircraft. Then possibly have some type of leg rest along the left side of the cockpit.
Do you see this as a possibility? If so, I'd look into the RV7 more and find one to look at ( but I thought I'd ask the question here first).
For the RV8, the question is more simple. Can the rear passenger straighten the left leg out on that side of the pilots seat?
My wife is 5'10 with a 36" inseam.
Any advice or help appreciated.
Steve
