[Wing] RV4 passenger

[Roger Embree]

I carried a 6' 2" passenger for a short cross country flight but would 
have to say that it is not the right plane for someone that big. We took 
the seat cushion out and he sat on a pillow. Headroom did not seem to be 
a problem. In my 4 I have rudder pedals for the rear and they limit how 
far you can stretch your legs out. There was a conflict with the canopy 
brace and his knees as we slowly closed the canopy. With  me at 225 lbs 
and the passenger at 185 I was limited to one tank of gas. That would 
make for some short cross country legs.
