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

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 .

I had the same expectation, expecting something similar to an MGB, and I was
truly astounded!
