Pietenpol-List: rudder bar location

I built a mock up of the fuselage section of the long fuselage over theweekend , widened two inches and found it to befairly roomy. I was wondering if there is any way to to move the rudderbar or pedals forward of the front seat to allow for more leg room. Anextra few inches in this area would make a big difference.

Brian There is a way if you are willing to change the firewall. The firewallcan be moved forward at the bottom and or buldged out/forward to provide theextra leg room. The engine is above this area. Depending how far forwardunder the engine you go it may not ghange the side profile of the fuse. Ifor one am taller than the folks BP must have known and find the front a bitcramped.John Mc----- Original Message -----
