Default Diamond DA-40 headroom

Eric,

I've got a DA40, with sheepskin seat covers, and I'm 6' 3" with a
34-35" inseam. Two things that make a differeence - taking out the seat
covers buys an extra inch, and using a lightspeed headseat (which my
partner flies with) gets you and inch on the top of the head.


Betcha I would scrape the underside of the canopy. I'm 5-11 with a
29-inch inseam (short legs and long trunk). I just barely make it in a
Cessna 182 (with DC headset). Someday I will find out how I fit in a
DA-40.
