I'm 5'6" with short legs. Even though I have placed the seat at the most forward position and have installed the "booster" option for the seats, I was surprised to find out that I can barely reach the pedals.
I fly my RV-8A with the pedals in the full aft position very comfortably. However there is to my knowledge no adjustment for the pedals in the RV-12. I guess I could modify the seats on the 12, but that would put the CG even more forward.
Right now, my only solution is to use a big cushion behind me. I would not be able to use the crotch strap, but that's a minor issue. I sure would like to find a way to bring the pedals closer.
Any short pilots out there with a similar problem? Suggestions?
Thanks and regards,
Rafael
