Subject: I get a stabbing pain in my calf muscle when at the helm
Yes, this may sound crazy, but it's a real problem for me.
The helm seat back/forward adjustment lever sticks out some 2 inches. This darn black covered spike-like rod really gets in my way at times and in fact will kind of impale itself into my calf muscles at times and it's quite painful.
I intend to cut this projecting lever off with my trusty hack saw. I will retrieve the black plastic end cover and place it on the end of the remaining rod. Is this rod secured by screwing into its base I wonder ? I ask as it would be easier having this lever removed while I hack off the 2 inches. 🙂
Interestingly enough, I also had to do the same on my R-21EC's seat adjusting lever.
RT should really address this issue before some serious damage is done to the Captain. 😉 😱 :roll: It's not only dangerous as it is, but the lever can also be easily nudged accidentally with the seat rocketing backwards.
