Ed,
Why are you concerned about stepping on the seat? That's how everyone I
know gets in and out of an F/A-18. Holding the windshield bow, right
foot on the seat, left foot on the floor, right foot on the floor, sit down.

Why are you concerned about stepping on the seat? That's how everyone I
know gets in and out of an F/A-18. Holding the windshield bow, right foot
on the seat, left foot on the floor, right foot on the floor, sit down.<br>

Yea I know, but I am trying to avoid stepping in and out on the seat
so I wanted to have about 8 inches in front of the seat to step in and then
slide forward. I was planning on a pedal adjustment as well, but I have
not thought about how to do that yet.<br>
