Angry What the?

No offense Frank F., but we are not talking about a few spins, we could do a few spins in a c-172 if that is what they offered. It is also not as simple as leaving some gas behind, it is not a MTOW problem, it is a fit in the cockpit issue. I appreciate your input, but you would actually have to see this to understand, or be familiar with the Extra 200 and how small the front seat is.The problem I have is this, they told me I would be getting this great upset recovery program that consists of 5 hours of flight time, and groundschool. I get called in a few weeks ago to get test fit in the aircraft, and guess what I do not FIT...my head actually hits the canopy, so it can not even close, and when the instructor moved the stick it hit my legs...Now I know I am knew to the pilot thing, but I am sure they could have thought about this before they sold the program or maybe bought the right airplane. I really want this course, I have a friend who is an instructor now and finished the course and said it was awesome...they felt they got a lot from the training. I paid for it, I want it...that simple.
