[QUOTE=dhavillandpilot;10104654]I don't know what the problem is? Many years ago George Campbell use to instruct at Mudgee. He was 150kgs and only 5ft 6. When he got in the C150 it was a sight to see.

Notwithstanding George was a sought after Instructor as he had the knack to making a pupil feel at home]

Slight thread drift here, but the mention of George has tickled my memory buds. Back in the day, more than a few hours were spent tucked in beside him, in either of the two C150s based at Mudgee in those days. It was a bit squeezy, but workable. He was a heck of a nice guy and I really learnt a lot from him...and Charlie P, when George was busy.
