Long legs vs cyclic in 109 ....

Does anyone else have the problem of almost no left cyclic with collective raised ?? I usually make sure my approach into a tight site has the wind on my right hand side ,as I don't have enough cyclic with even a light wind from the left .
The collective seems badly designed with the box of tricks on the end protruding out towards the pilot more than towards the copilot .
Has anyone looked at switching it around which would at least give a little more movement . Have lived with it for last few years but today I had to actually lift my leg up off the pedal in order to move the cyclic enough !!!!
Extending the pedals or moving the seat back is a possibility . I can't be the only one with long legs who has this problem !!!!
