Raising instrument panel/glareshield
Posted: Fri Apr 23, 2021 4:30 pmHi all,
Dennis C's: Tiny Shiny: (note the cockpit mods around 5:20 in)

I'd like to do something similar to tiny shiny - and yes i realize it's currently for sale - just not realistic option (2200+nm ferry + a border/constant changing rules).
So looking at buying used + refit to my needs - I can't seem to make myself fit in a sonex (tried 3 and an Onex on for size) - guessing my thighs are longer than most? Knees end up jamming into the panel and those way too common panel extensions.
Has anyone documented the changes to raise the panel & glare shield? And how absolutely nightmare inducing would it be to try to do this to a B model after it's been completed (not being a builder not sure of structure - I'm guessing it won't come easily?)
Thanks in advance!
