Re: Colt - no leg solutions?
I flew a 1957 PA22/160 with the Williams Toe Brakes to OshKosh this year and it was torture. I am 6' even. Whenever I was setting Right seat it was impossible for me to get my feet off the rudder pedals and keep my knees out of the yoke unless I sat "sidesaddle" so to speak. My plane is a 1952 PA/22 135 with the "johnson bar" brake and I seem to be very comfortable in it with the seat all the way back. Definitely the brake setup that is the difference so the answer may be to look at a TriPacer without toebrakes. Unless you need the differential braking the stock brakes seem to do the job.
I do need to add a squirt of fluid every few months to keep from rolling during the runup. I haven't found any leaks that are visible.
