Learned something new today.   Apparently whereas my wife USED to be

happy just being a co-pilot, she I guess likes our RV-10 enough

that she suddenly doesn't want to settle for just being a non-flying

co-pilot anymore.  I mounted my rudder pedals in the forward position.

I'm almost 6'2".  She's more the height of an ooompa loompa, but

not so round...at 5'2".  Unfortunately, with the seat full forward,

she still can't make the rudder pedals move much.  So now it's either

booster seat time, or the ol' wooden blocks on the shoes.  One thing

I'm not doing is moving those pedals back...at least not yet.



Something to think about before you mount your pedals.

Bet you can get her some nice platform shoes from one of those retro 70's shops.

 

 Hehe
