Most of me is in IL but my hearts in Alaska
I don’t know why but I think I would like to fly a high wing plane. It’s practically a necessity in a flying boat and even on wheels I would prefer it.
but I don’t wanna sit under the wing where I can’t see stuff in a turn.
Would it be practical to simply stretch the cabin?
Sitting just a few inches farther forward would get me out from under that darn wing.
I suppose I could recover my center of gravity by either stretching the cabin backward possibly getting the backseat passengers out from under the wing also or as a last resort the dreaded ballast to restore the center of gravity?
