My primary discomfort in the Mooney is legroom -- not length but width
and height.
Pilot and copilot legs have very little wiggle room up and down, side
to side. This becomes VERY noticable on a long flight.



We passed on the 2000 Toyota Camry for that very reason - it was like
inserting yourself into the mouth of the cannon for 'The Human
Cannonball' act - no wiggle room, too narrow.

Honda Accord has much more wiggle room for legs and feet ...except the
darn steering wheel position is right on top of those legs, in your lap.
Oh well. Can't win 'em all.

Very, very happy with the Honda 60K miles later.

Back to planes - I thought the Navion had much room in it. 6-2 300#

Navions are very cool ...and huge :-)

AND ... The Navion is one of the very few aircraft that can accommodate
both a 6'1" pilot and a 5'2" pilot with comfort. Now that we have new
seat cushions I don't even have to use my booster seat!!
