Dude shows up. Fits in the helicopter. Amazing!

That's pretty tight! I'm 6-5 and I forgot my headset once and had to wear my helmet in the 22..just that added height and I was crouching the whole flight...he needs an E480b !

What, you put him in the left seat with his head out the sun-roof?!

I saw a 22 once that had the back cushion removed to help accomodate a really tall guy.

 

On the flip side...

 

I flew with a CFI who was so short they needed a booster seat just to reach the pedals!

I know a tall guy who glassed in a head bubble in his RW...it worked...apparently was not a Marine ;-)

Thank you for this post. Can I ask your advice? I have a real problem with my alternative R-22 uniform, which I like to wear on certain Religious Holy days. I wonder if I could draw on your Robinson expertise, and ask you to give me an opinion on the problem I have.

 

here is a photo of that uniform. Thank you in advance.

 

Humbly yours.

Just take it off and wrap it around the mast!
