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'.

Hi Mark,
I measured the difference when we had a 4 and a 6 in the shop. The LS-6 is 2
inches less in width and 2 inched lass in height.

thanks

Do some people not know how to use the net or are they just lazy?

LS4: 64cm / 83cm
LS6,7,8: 61cm / 80cm
S-H a: 54cm / 75cm
S-H b+c: 62cm / 81cm
ASW27+28: 64cm / 80cm

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

As far as I remember (flown a Ventus 2a twice in September, LS6 last
Saturday and a lot of other times) there is a little more space in
the LS6. 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"

Marcel, thanks for the legwork - highly appreciated
