IMHO Bad idea . I just put a piece of 1.5" "I" section aluminium across the
footwell step and it works for me and I'm 5'9" and on a long flight you will
need to practice "walking" with as much room as you can have to prevent the
onset of cramp in the legs.
Also keep your knee from being near the draught vent more cause for cramp!
After a 4hour 30 minute flight to Krems Vienna My choice was to pretend
walking like hell or choose landing along or across vineyard wires on fields
as for as the eye could see, with tears streaming down my face. Also dose up
on a good layer of Quinine tablets !

Hi Craig and co.
I want to put 75 mm onto the shelf, bringing it aft into the footwell, to
give me a place for my heels. Is that a dumb idea because only being 5' 9"
or 175 cm, I think my legs will easily fit, and I imagine because of the
upright nature of the pedals at neutral, that it might be nice to build a
heel support. Bad idea???
