I did sit in the Pawnee once (not a power- or tow pilot, though) and concluded that one has to have the anatomy of an Orangutan to reach for the handle while still looking forward and out the window!

How far did the Orangutan optimized handle extend from the floor?

(We extended ours from about 8 to 20 inches which looked about right for humans.)

I would estimate at least 24 inches, I can fly, look straight ahead and easily and comfortably locate and pull the handle. Bob
