Most likely you were flying in a very "forward" position on the seat. Do you have short legs and a long torso? I am 5'11" and find it to be extremely comfortable but I have long letgs. (33" inseam). If you have short legs (which is indicated to me by the fact you were pulling the seat so far forward that your knees touched) then the headroom would decrease as the seat rails move up as you move forward (and conversely of course the further back on the rails you are the more headroom you have). From where I fly its incredibly comfortable with the stick position absolutely perfect. I also fly with the medium thickness Oregon seat. The G36 Bonanza I had was MUCH less ergonomically pleasing.

Also do you fly "straight up" in the seat or do you have some recline in it. Perhaps its my attraction to Ferraris and such but I find the straight up position is EXTREMELY tiring in any form of vehicle so I never use it. This could also lead to a loss of headroom if you are using that.

Yep that's the issue, The TTx is meant to be flown more as a sports car driven set up.... seat slightly reclined arms fully extended or close to extended. At least thats my take on it. If you sit straight up you would lose headroom and put the stick at an awkward angle.

With that seating position you like you would LOVE the M2

I fly pretty much close to back straight up. Lower back doesn't like much recline in the seat back.

Sports cars are meant to be driven reclined and arms extended... That's a new one to me... Something tells me that the opposite is true.

So I suppose you want to argue with someone thats raced 15 years in SCCA and in Ferrari Corsa Pilota level? Sitting bone straight up is for old women and blind people (J/K)....

The correct position is slightly reclined with arms fairly extended (but not all the way out of course) in the 9 and 3 position if you want to get technical according to Ferrari Corsa Pilota and Ferrari Challenge schools... no matter what Recaro says....

Anyway the fact you found the TTx uncomfortable to your position speaks to your particular seating desires but not to the vast opinions of those that fly them..

Its personal comfort.... I just think that the TTx is the most comfortable aircraft I have ever flown as a pilot. And many many people agree with me

Couldn't agree more on personal comfort. My Evo is surprisingly comfortable. I know I'm going to miss it.

Anyone have access to a T240 (TTX) POH I can download please?

You just built that, why selling?

Can someone comment on the TTX’s lack of yaw damper in turbulence? I have flown the type twice (and yes I’m familiar with the rudder hold system) but it was rather smooth. We added a YD to the F-33A and it made a huge difference.

The Columbia 400 doesn’t really need a YD in my experience. The high wing loading and little adverse yaw make it very stable and comfortable in turbulence or maneuvering. Some aircraft really benefit from a YD, others don’t seem to need it.

The Columbia 400 (but not the 350) has a "ventral fin" on the bottom side of the fuselage, which I guess helps reduce yaw (although I'm not an aerodynamicist).
