Hi guys,

I'm 6'2" and leggy. I was told the bungee gear on S-1C's and S-1S's has 4" less of leg room than spring gear. Is this true?

I'm searching for my first Pitts and don't want to fly out to look at one only to find out I don't fit. I do manage to fit into my Cassutt, but it's painful.

Thanks,
Dan
