Who is too short?

Post by BDA »

So I am standing next to my Superstol with 31" tires and the bottom of the door hits me just below the nipples.

Has anyone used the Cub style step on the landing gear?

Carry a step ladder around in the plane?

Wear platform boots?

...wow...just wow.

I can’t believe he is that short, and thinks part of him weighs 1T.

It doesn't bother anyone that Al Pacino has a prosthetic leg? or perhaps a broken ankle...?

Hard braking?

Fractured gear leg?

If just enough is really good, then too much ought to be perfect.

It does look like he broke his leg or something. Maybe that is why he wasn’t wearing his boots.
