Classic near St. Louis

Post by JeffHinson »

I am considering starting a Hatz Bantam project an was wondering if someone would be kind enough to let me see how well I fit. I'm 6'2" 250ish now; hopefully I'll be lighter down the road, but I've been saying that for years. I talked to Mark Marino from Hanger 10 and he says the Classic's cockpit is the same as the Bantam. He's also designing a 'wider' version of his pre-welded Bantam fuse, but I was hoping to do the complete project from scratch. I may need to go this way if I don't have any wiggle room.

Thanks in advance.
