I'm ___feet ___inches tall; will I fit in the sonex?

Frequently Asked Questions
There's really no good way to tell until you actually sit in one. A key dimension is how long you are from butt-bottom to head-top. I'm 6'1" with a long torso and 190 lbs. Yes, I "fit" but just barely. I built N983RW as a center-stick version so that I could sit in the middle of the cockpit (when flying alone), straddle the stick, and use the outside rudder pedals. In this mode, it's a really roomy single seater. When on occasion a passenger rides along, we can squeeze in side-by-side.
