The rudder pedals are in the standard location.
My principle with the aircraft was to make it as light as possible.
The seat I made for myself from composite/coremat. It is about 1/4" thick.
It is designed to support my weight evenly from shoulder blades through to
back of thigh so that almost no padding is required. Today I fly with just
a sheepskin - no foam. I am aware of the issue of hard landing and
compression but I considered that the lack of padding would be mitigated
by distributing my weight over a wider area.
There is about an inch from my headphones to the plexi
As it happened when I flew from Colombia to USA I flew every day for two
weeks up to 5 hours a day and was never uncomfortable.
