The big trouble is that with the standard fuselage my legs are still too
long even though I use a very thin seat back cushion. The XS would let me
use a standard cushion which would relieve the ache I get in my back, but
my legs would still be bent at too great an angle. This means that one's
weight is carried on far too small a part of the bottom, and after about 50
minutes one suffers from a numb bum. Regretably I can't see any way out of
it other than having about 4inches carved out of my legs, which is rather
too drastic a mod to be approved!
