Pilot height maximum???

[Gravity_Knight]

Curious... I'm 6'3" maybe 6'4" on a good day, 235lbs and wondering if I will fit ok in a kitfox. I fly a CTSW/CTLS now and fit fine but they are quite roomy.

I can just fit in a CH750 with the seat adjusted all the way back, it's not great, but I can make it work. Anyone care to chime in about a fox? (talking about a series 5,6 or 7 only)

Thanks,

Todd

Hi Todd,

You should fit. Also see this thread:

Gravity Guy,

I fit fine in my Vixen (tri-gear model 5) at 6' 2" and a little over 200 lbs. Seating in any aircraft I was interested in was the first factor. Mine has very thin seat padding.

Hi Gravity,
When I first flew my kitfox 3 I weighed 22lbs more than you and stood 6' 1" tall.
I fit OK and get full Control movement.
I now weigh 220 lbs so fit even easier.
Have fun
