Even with longer legs, the cockpit is still roomy.

Glad to see that picture Ted. Thanks for posting it. I didn't realize you had the Pygmy braces installed. My memory of your braces from last year lacked the hooks on the knee braces. I'll try putting some in. I noticed that a comparison of our pictures also shows my knee braces a bit forward of yours. Quite a difference my long legs seem to make!

Looking forward to seeing you and Holly at R2K1.
