The book figure should read 56" A.O.D. for the pilot/passenger.  This figure 
does include the legs (and arms, one on throttle, the other on the stick).

When Pete Clark flew the aircraft he used a parachute as a cushion behind 
his back and, to increase the accuracy in C of G calculations, we found we 
needed to use 54" A.O.D.>
