Angier,  I tipped my panel 5 degrees, top of panel forward.  This was done to
get adequate canopy clearance since my radio stack goes right to the top and I
have the EC-100 top left.  Now that my interior is nearly done, I see that I
have line-to-line contact between my knees and the bottom of the panel when I
pull my feet back. This is too bad and, it seems, not correctable.  I'm 5'11"
tall.  For those of you that haven't placed your seat back in yet, consider
placing it further rearward than the manual suggests, perhaps an extra inch both
at top and bottom.  The bottom expecially drives the 'H-point' (automotive
parlance for center of hip rotation) which sets up where your legs will be.  If
you are shorter, don't have a full panel or don't have a header tank, you'll be
fine per the manual.

Ed de Chazal
