Does anyone know if the FES retro-fit results in the reduction of the fully forward position of the rudder pedals? Us tall pilots cannot fit if we cannot get the rudder pedals all the way forward.

My recollection is that it does slightly reduce forward Adjustment, but not sure how much.

And I suppose it might vary significantly from model to model, so best to ask
about the specific glider you are interested in.
