T-18 more roomy than I had thought it would be

Say what? The 38" cabin is not wide enough, but if you have a two inch wide cabin, then you get one inch more, and the passenger gets 1 inch more, that is enough? I'm surprised that 1/2" extra on each elbow and/or hip is enough to even notice. The impression I got from his post (and I may be wrong) was that it was tight but tolerable. You'd be surprised what you can fit in depending on preference. I trained in a Cessna 150F with a 38" wide cabin at 240 lbs with an instructor at 190 and found it a smidge cramped, but tolerable. Sure another 2" might not add MUCH, but if it was workable before then there's only room to improve  .When I first decided I wanted to fly though, I'd never even been up in a small plane. I just loved the thought of flying. It certainly was a surprise when I actually got close to the plane and saw the inside. I was expecting something about like the inside of my car .Mike
