This is necessary to give the best view over the nose for the taxi/take off and
landing. Being just 5cm (2") lower than optimum makes a large difference
in the field of view over the nose
.
Rudder pedal position is set during the build process but to bring the pedals
further aft for pilots with shorter legs a small cable adjuster can be fitted
onto the rudder pedal cables in the rear of the fuselage.
Seat belts
Four point harnesses are provided for safety with a simple press to release
operation similar to many motor cars. These are fully adjustable and should
be tight, particularly in the take off and landing stages of the flight.
Door latch operation should be checked before flight and clearly placarded
on both the inside and outside of the door showing the open and closed
position and a warning “Do not open in flight”.
