RkyMtnHI Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Did i spell that correctly, doesn't look like it. We have a student that isn't as tall as most, and i'm wondering if there are extensions or such to make the peddles more accessible to her? thanks for your input. dp Quote
Chopperjess Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Boy, do I know how annoying it is to be very short and trying to fly (I am 4 foot 11 inches). I carry a pillow with me every flight so I can reach the 22's pedals =O Quote
PhotoFlyer Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I've never seen any pedal extensions for the 300, but with a little ingenuity it wouldn't be too hard to make a set. Or some platform shoes perhaps? I had a student who was 5'1" and she couldn't fly comfortably without a pair of 4 inch platform shoes. Quote
Mikemv Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Pedal extensions would have to be STC'd, a back cushion/pllow works! Quote

apiaguy Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Yes there are pedal extensions for the 300. They go over the pedals and provide 2 or 3 inches... I'd have to look at them again... been a while.. Think I have a few sets. They are a factory part. Quote
Goldy Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Did i spell that correctly, doesn't look like it. You are correct. It's not spelled correctly. Nothing that a few helicopter flights won't take care of. Do you have anyway to make the pedals shorter so my legs can actually fit inside the aircraft? No? Sounds like I'm being discriminated against! See you in a month! Goldy Quote
BOATFIXERGUY Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 My wife bought one of those seat cushion things. Works great. Quote
