Astir 8 / phiggsbroadband, thanks for replies
Astir....good idea about the rigid foam. When I got in the K21 with the rudder pedals pulled right up, then the back of the seat was adjusted forward it wasn't that bad. When we went up it was ok doing slight turns etc but when I needed to use the rudders a lot......could not reach. Have been looking at a few Gliding clubs that give instructions to people that have lost the use of their legs and use a ''handle'' like the air brake handle. Think I might have to go down this route....if I can. Any laws/rules against that???
Phiggs....K8, K6CR, K6E their the ones I would love to own. Love the old gliders. I have that problem as well, sort legs. Cant do anything about it now. Its funny because I went solo in a Beagle Pup 150, did quite a few hours in that......then the money ran out, you know kids/mortgage/skint!!
Thanks for the replies though

The biggest problem is 'short legs', as you say the k21 backrest does go forward quite a bit but that bl***y stick in the middle keeps getting in the way!!
Don't have any worries about weight.....I have too much of it!!
These things are sent to try us!!
Still determined to get there!!
As earlier even if I have to have a go with side handle for the rudders!!
