Oh :-( Most of my height is in my legs, but I'll certainly be trying one
out before writing that big cheque. It's been suggested that they may be
prepared to bring an aircraft closer to me for a test flight.
Failing that, and if I can't find anyone close to me, then perhaps I'll
make the trip to the factory a navigation exercise, as part of my training.
That should reduce it to a day trip, instead of a weekend.

Hey, I'd be real interested to hear how you get on with this. You can
never have too much room :)

Damn. I was just going to say "but the XS has more legroom than the
original Europa, so I should be ok". *sigh* :)
