I appreciate all the inputs guys. My point on the 7 is most tall guys who fly in them didn't build them. There's got to be some room to be gained by making the panel slightly more narrow right? In the end if I have to build an 8 it's still a RV and I can buy the aft controls. I'm not sure if my ass ...

Oh,

I forgot to mention my house in HI is to small for any more stuff. The higher rank I get the smaller my house is! 1000 sqft is just enough for a family of four but not really. I had to buy a shed for all my RC stuff.

I'm not going to know where/when I'm moving from HI until Dec. Right now I'm not scheduled to leave until June of 11. If I'm ever on travel again I'll look someone up for sure!

My Grandfather owned a small FBO for more then 30 years and my wife's Grandfather owned several aircraft over the years. Both of us have always wanted to earn our ...

Tall guys thread

So, this is my first post here and I'm a good 5 years away from ordering anything. Before I get my heart set on one of the RV's I need to know if it's physically possible for me to fit. I've read every post about "big" guys but every one of them are refering to weight and girth and not how tall they...
