Default Smith Miniplane

I was 5; 8" and 140 lbs. when I built it and had plenty of room. I'm about
175 now but could still fit. Frank Smith was about my height and around
160 - 170 #. The cockpit was surprisingly roomy.

I wonder how big and heavy a pilot this can fly. It's a rather tidy
looking machine.

I'm 6'3 and 10 stone.

The fellow who owned the plane was a short (person).

Rudder pedals were a little close.
A little tighter than a Pitts, maybe - but not that much.

Cozy...
