Best way Chuck I have heard. That old where is the arm on a mis-shaped package solved. I find my arms to be a little forward of the front of the seat for me. A...
When you climb into a rental plane, do the W&B charts show different arms for fat or skinny folks? When you are filling out FAA forms use FAA ways. Other than...
My GT400 UL had a adjustable seat fore and aft. This position was figured into the pilot arm on the factory W&B setup. So yes it can be different depending on...
