Air command pod

[flightexpress]

I'm looking at buying a air command with a nose pod. I tried sitiing in it and it was A little tight. My knees almost hit the dash. Can you move the nose pod forward a few inches or do tall pilots fly like this and really don't have a issue with it.

Remove it & enjoy open air flying ! I wonder how comfy you would be without it ?

My brother just re-listed his on Ebay yesterday. He is around 6'2" or 6'3" and I have heard no complaints. (This is a Subaru-powered machine originally built by the legendary Ed Alderfer.)

If the problem is your knees hitting the dash panel, just remake the dash panel shorter and move the gauges up. Very simple fix. I made a new on for mine using a sheet of 1/8" ABS plastic. I cut the new shape out of a piece of MDF, Then I screwed the plastic to the MDF and used a heat gun to bend the plastic over the edges. Remove it from the MDF, trim the excess, and cut your new holes. It took about 2-3 hrs.

I have long legs and modify my Air Commands for better seating. The seat can be moved back 30-40mm. I also make an instrument panel with larger cutouts so I don't bump my shins and knees on it.
