Subject: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Tight cockpit anecdote (was
Skycatcher news)
The other day, I had a fellow motorcycle rider REALLY interested in my
Sky Arrow. He was pushing 250 lbs, but I offloaded some fuel and
figured we'd be right at gross with just a few gallons on board for a
short local flight.
We spent maybe an hour doing an extensive pre-flight/ground oral. When
it came time to fly, he managed to wedge himself in the back seat. It
was tight, but doable. But...
...there was no way we could go flying. His legs were large enough
that they interfered with the sidestick - no way to get full control
deflection, even with him trying valiantly to hold his leg clear. So
it goes...
So, he's looking into other options. And he's now motivated to lose
the 50 lbs or so that might allow him to fit in the Sky Arrow.
BTW, I'm just under 190 and have no problem, front or back, in the Sky
Arrow. Then again, I have skinny legs!
