Lu.. Did I say I flew military?? No... so what is your point??? Because I don't see one.
My comments are in response CTD's request for opinions on the pedal placement and adjustability and whether or not pilots find them satisfactory. I don't. Being the Short arse that I am, AS I stated in my previous posting.. I use an obus form that allows me to sit further forward in the seat so I can comfortably reach the pedals. Now, because I use the obus form, I sit further forward in the seat than was probably ever considered, and as a result of the way I'm sitting the position of the cyclic is now no longer comfortable for me. So Solving one problem created another.
How can anyone correct this????... a better designed cockpit with more consideration to the variety of people working in them perhaps? Would it be a huge deal for BHT to make a design change in the adjustment limits of the pedals, A more comfortable seat? An adjustable seat? I don't know...
