[Wing] RV4 passenger

[Ken Hoshowski]

It's not the height so much as the weight that is the issue.  I am 6
feet tall (215 lbs) and fit into the back seat of an RV4 (180 hp with
constant speed) but the trim was set to the forward limit of its travel.
Not a good situation in an engine out.   Weight and balance is the issue
here!

Airplane to airplane W&B variations notwithstanding, what is the height
limit for an RV4 back seat passenger in terms of his/her comfort for
cross country flying?
