Xenos B for tall pilot?

I did explain my space problem to Mark a couple weeks ago. He really couldn’t see how I could have a problem with the dimensions of the cockpit.
The center stick configuration along with the seat back hinge placement is what created the problem,
I built the very first B conversion.
My Legacy Sonex suffered some damage in a landing after my AeroVee broke a valve adjuster. Downwind landing back at the airport that I had just left about 8 minutes prior plus I was high and fast when I reached the end of the runway. So she suffered some damage so I decided like Kerry said to get the latest and greatest.
I actually had more fun plans building a big share of my earlier Sonex, no waiting for parts, no incorrect parts, no wrong bolt sizes. I thought the plans left a lot to be desired.
I never would have made a post like this when Jeremy was still around but I probably wouldn’t have had to either.
I’ll be happy to post some performance numbers when I get my biannual out of the way and we get some warmer days.
I may just fly it with a local ag pilot rather than wait. I never could have gotten in the air with two people with the AeroVee but the 107HP UL feels really strong. I have the Prince P-Top prop.
Thanks
