Got in some high speed taxi runs with 4 trips down runway 29 this morning, sun at my back and into a 5 Kts breeze at 260. On the first run my left leg keep bumping the flap switch, resulting in deploy and retracting the flaps. Moved the flap switches about 2 inches higher; still needs work. Second run found the right leg interfering with left stick movement; removed my wallet for a fix. Runs 3 & 4 had to abort at somewhere about 40 Kts; could not read the airspeed on the Dynon D10A; it was set for full brightness, but sun light was washing it out. Maybe a glare shield might help. (Something that won't split my head in a crash to paraphrase Mark L.) Also might be an issue with my bifocals. Did I mention my stage II cataracts? Getting old is not for wimps.
