Hey guys, I'm considering the SeaRey and need to know if I will fit in the cockpit. I am 6 ft 5 in. Before I get too excited, I want to make sure it will work for me. Can someone tell me the distances for seat to pedals and seat to canopy? Also, am I the only tall guy out there?Thanks, Joe<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML.

Joe, I know of at least one 6' 5' SeaRey builder, so you probably won't have any trouble fitting in. That guy built his SeaRey with the canopy raised a bit at the back to give himself more clearance. That's easy to do when building and not too difficult to do later. If your height is mostly in the legs, you may not have to make any changes at all.<br /><br />If you're still going to Sebastian, Florida, why not just drive to the Progressive Aerodyne factory in Taveres? It's only about 90 car miles. <a href="http://www.searey.com/Contact_Us/index.html">http://www.searey.com/Contact_Us/index.html</a><br /><br />(Google Maps locates the address about a mile too far north, by the way. It's actually on Lake Idamere.)

Have a fella at the PA factory, he is 6'8' tall, when standing next to my 5'4' wife he looks about 8'8'!!! he has flown numerous times in my aircraft. His knees are admittedly a little raised. My A/C is std in all regards, it is an LSX (seats rather than hammock) I am 6'1' most of me is above the belt, have a 32' inseam. I fit fine, in fact to get full rudder deflection, (low speed water taxing while being blown) I actually slide down and reach for the pedals full travel. I have a 6'5' Stepson who does not feel he will fit, I intend to get a picture of the 6'8' fella to fwd to him, and will be happy to post it here. This guy would be fine but for his legs, and if someone of his dimensions were owning/building, repositioning the pedals would be easy. Raising canopy also not difficult. was some talk at PA of raising all from here out, never seemed to materialize, probably because it has been kind of a non-issue. Cockpit width (LSX) is greater than a C-172. As Don says, take the 90 mile trip to PA, sit in mine or one of 3/4 others.

I might be the guy Don is talking about, but am only 6'4', with a 36' leg. The rudder pedals in my SeaRey have also been extended, with the result that they are almost too far forward. Legroom is no problem and the canopy height can be modified as Don mentioned.

Great guys, thanks. One less issue. I will be in Sebring, so we'll check it out. I am 6'-5' with 36' inseam. So it sounds OK.<br /><br />Daniel, do you have Dave's Canadian SeaRey? If so, I've been talking to him too.

Time to see it. We are in Georgia now, heading to Sebastian Florida for the winter. Can't wait. Funny, we left Virginia, saw no snow until we hit NC, then most of the cars with NC or SC plates had snow, not NY, PA, NJ. go figure, global warming at it's best.<br /><br />Can you get me an address so we can figure out how and when to get up there.
