I would like to extend the rudder pedals closer to me so I can scute the seat back and make it more comfortable to fly the center stick. Right now I have the seat forward and the stick is very uncomfortable and hard to get full deflection. Just wondering anyone has done this and if so send pictures. Thanks

I remember reading somewhere that Viking (the aircraft engine company) sells a modified stick (or will modify your stick?) to joggle it forward. That might be an option worth considering, and if so, reach out to them. I did a quick search but couldn't find where I saw it. Might have been in a video.
