Questions about our Pixel Pilot

A few too many trips to the dairy queen too!

Bite your tongue.  At 5'4" / 220lbs (yes 20 are probably extra) I can still carry your rabbit arse to and from the DQ while holding a blizzard in the other hand .

There was a thread one time where IIRC someone on the HTC staff mentioned the pilot was exactly 6' tall. it was a baseline number I thought used for head positions in the views...

search help, aircraft, and requests for view and head position threads, you'll probably find it.

ya know what's funny about using height to figure head positions? i'm 6'2, 163#. the cessna i rent at the club, always has the seat adjusted too low for me. i ALWAYS need to raise it up a couple inches. there's only 2 other people in the club as tall as me, and one of them is my CFI. his prefernece i think is the pipers, so he only flys this plane when he's teaching, putting him in the right seat. the other one always rents out the twins. i've never seen him in a singel engine plane since i've been in this club.

 just seems strange that shorter than 6' people need the seat LOWER than a tall skinny dude.........i mean, how the hell do they get a good view over the glare shield?

Different leg/body length ratios. Some people have relatively long legs, others don't

And regarding to 200lbs for a 6' pilot - that's not much at all if you keep in mind he doesn't fly naked. Boots, gear, parachute, and so on to add up.

Yep, that 200lbs includes his personal gear.

yea...well when i answered with my weight...that's why there's 2 numbers. the 180 is wearing my flight suit, and carrying my headset, maps, charts, gps, and some water...........
