It was kinda embarrassing when at my second annual, my A&P asked me why I needed 3" rudder pedal extensions on my J model. I'm 6' tall. I told him I didn't need them. He asked "Then why do you have them?". And I said "Because I'm an idiot". Boy what a difference in control and steering! Actually I still had plenty of room with them installed. But I could see how someone of a shorter height might find a little comfort in them. They are going on eBay for $75. But any Mooneyspace friends can make an offer and I'll send them your way. Supposed to fit on all M20 models.

That must have been an interesting experience flying with those. I'm 6'3" and find myself fairly forward due to the deep wells. So, I can see how you could do it. I think a lot depends on your upper/lower body height distribution. My legs are shorter than my upper body.
