Hi all
Currently learning to fly out of Manchester Barton initially in a C172 which was fine, I could reach everything. However due to mechanical issues i have had to switch to the PA28 which they have 3 of. Now tipping in at around 19 stone ( used to be 20.5, I’m working on it!) I have an issue with comfort and actually reaching the fuel tank selector and trim lever with the shoulder strap on.
Are there any belt extenders available or has anyone got any experience/suggestions for the heavier pilot?!
Thanks in advance
Pete.
