So here's the new builder just about to pull the trigger on a -7 empennage kit. Looked at several, sat in a few, and even at my 6'3" 250lb size had convinced myself I could fit. Cozy, but doable.
Last minute doubts set in. The larger cockpit size and MTOW of the -14 just keeps nagging the back of my mind.
Sure, I'll have to dig up another mason jar in the back yard for the budget increase, but I've begun to wonder if the comfort and overall usefulness for a guy my size won't be worth the extra AMU's.
Looking for the brain trust here to help me out:
Anybody got time and/or experience with both the 7 and the 14?
Any completed 14's in the central Florida area that would be willing to let me take a peek at their plane?
Thanks in advance for any advice you'd care to offer.
