LS4 - LS6 Fuselage size
Simple question I hope.
In respect to pilot seating, is the fuselage on the LS4 the same as LS6a ? Cheers Mark |

The 6 is much narrower then the 4, to reduce wetted area. If you fit in a 6, you will be able to get lost inside a 4 cockpit-or as someone once posted here, 'Carry a bag of apples along with you'.

Ernie,
here's a more qualitative answer from someone 6'2" and 225 lbs: No, they don't compare. I can fly and LS-6 comfortably if I take the seat back out. I can't even close the Ventus 2a canopy. (BTW, the 2bx is very roomy.) Cheers |

The Ventus 2a didn't have an adjustable back rest, so I had to add a cushion behind the parachute. |

thanks Robert, and what would your "size" be ?
I fit comfortably in a LS6(had one for a year) and I am 178 cm/5'10" Ernie -- "When we come to the place where the road and sky collide" "Throw me over the edge and watch my spirit fly" "Robert Ehrlich" wrote in message ...
