  You are of the ideal proportion to remedy a prime Pitts deficiency--that of 
the upright seat position.  With short legs,you  could  have a backpack  
pad/chute made by Butler that would simulate more of a Sukhoi type body 
position ie, 45 degree seat back.  With the pad 1/4 "  thick by your 
shoulders and 6 inches thick by your seat, you would favorably change to a 
more G worthy position. What an opportunity!  Call Manley Butler.
