Pitot leak?
The Mike Borgelt airline repair document that Mark mentions is good.
Another good one is by Lee Kuhlke (with pictures) in the July 2005 issue of Soaring magazine. If you can't find that issue a link to a copy of the article is in my presentation on the whole airline topic at http://aviation.derosaweb.net/presentations/#airlines. Best of luck! John |

Ka6e for Tall Pilots
Some time ago, I read about a Dutch Ka6e that had been modified
for tall pilots. I am 6 foot 5 inches (197 cm) tall. I can’t find the article to follow-up on what modifications were done and what height Pilot could be accommodated. If anyone knows about this, I would be grateful for a few hints. |

If anyone knows about this, I would be grateful for a few hints We had a Ka.6E when I was young. To fit my 6'2" frame into it, we made a new instrument panel with high leg cut-outs and extended the center part down to the floor to make it a pedestal (to accommodate the now displaced instruments). Then, the seat back was removed and we found a parachute rigger who packed our chute in a triangular wedge shape that sat on top of the wheel well. With those modifications, I barely fit. I don't know if if one can squeeze enough more from that to fit someone who is 6'5" though. RO |

Ka6e for Tall Pilots
Schleicher has TN16 which details mods for taller pilots. The Dutch
mod was extensive rebuild of the front fuselage, basically 10 cm longer nose from main bulkhead forward. Done through local approval by GWL.
