Hello everybody,

I want to know if anyone has an installation for the seats that lowers the butt cushion. I am 6'1 but mostly upper body, and when I sat in a t-18 for the 1st time I had to lower my head so the canopy could close. All I really need is 2-3 inches so my head doesn't bump in the canopy when I'm in flight. If you have pictures of the install it would be much appreciated too! thanks !

Hi Tony,
There are four seat supports per seat. They are riveted in during the build process. It is possible to make those shorter to provide more room. It would be a big job to modify an existing build.
