Aeros for fat gits(and tall)
 

Can anyone out there with some good experience of either being fat and tall 17'9 and 6ft 2 or routinely flying various types of aerobatic aircraft, tell me what types in your experience can be safely flown and to a degree confortably by someone of my size , slingsbys are definately out , any thoughts ?
and no I cant get hold of a vulcan etc etc etc:ok:

Yak-52 or an Extra-300 would probably do the trick.

:eek: Stampe

Robin 2160 with a quarter tank of fuel :}

Stearman

HFD

Decathlon.

Limit on fatness is when back stick hits your stomach. Seat cushions should be removable for an extra couple of inches.

My Beloved had a Pitts S1 for a while; he is 6'4" and at least as heavy as you. We had to remove the seat cushion, put a soft cover on his headset and he wore a specific pair of shoes........

Harvard will do it!

I do not have the W&B to hand, but Ultimate High have - "Bulldog Aircraft Limits: Weight limit* is 17 stone. Maximum height 6ft 5" so if you either lose the extra 9 or are careful on fuel and/or who you fly with you should be OK there.:ok:

Why are Slingsbys out? Get hold of an M260 and you'll be fine, even with full fuel.

Thanks guys , Slingsbys are out because I , 1, cant shut the canopy , 2, Cant move the stick when im in , 3 I put the weight and balance so far out of whack its not funny.
Damn shame cos I have ready access to one of the buggers

I'm 6'1" and with Bose X or helmet on being forced up against canopy of Extra 300L under negative g, hunching a bit even during normal flight.
