Pilot size
« on: 05 January 2015, 21:05 »
I am considering purchasing an ASW15 and have two questions.

1.I am 6ft tall (182cm) Can anyone tell me for sure if I would have any problem fitting in the cockpit
2. What do you think the cost to install water bags would be??

Thanks

I am almost 2 metres, but I fit hardly. (I modified the dashboard with larger arches for more lage room.

Can you tell me how many cm tall you are exactly. And is the headroom adequate for you??? I am 182 and if you can fit OK I will probably be fine.
Thanx for the reply

Hello, I am exactly 180 cm tall, and I can fit really without any problem. With slimpack chute I feel very comfortably also during four or more hour flights...
