Got Any RV6 Tip Up Seating Mods For 6'2" Pilot?
After searching for four months trying to get first in line for a RV6, I bought 722DK From John H. out of S.C. It is time to fit the plane to my body, install a smoke system and fly.
I previously owned N89PC a RV6A with a slider. In 89PC, I installed the "Almost a 14 seat mod" from Antisplat and additionally moved the front bottom piano hinge behind the last bottom hinge under the seat. As a result of that work, I could ride in 89PC for up to four hours at a time.
My new ride, 722DK is a tip up which has the canopy locking bar behind the seats. Thus it looks like the "Almost a 14" seat mod won't work. Am I right?
What are the solutions to fit my long legged 6'2" frame into the tip up RV6?
By the way my new -6 has an injected Titan 370 with electronic ignition...I'm looking forward to flying as -4 in formation
