Sheez, Roy, it's a safe bet you aren't 5'4", long legged and
short waisted!  The only maneuver? What horizen?  You mean, in 
a steep turn, a power off stall, or a landing, there's supposed 
to be a horizen?

Seriously though, I think taller CFIs need to be cognizant 
that if their student is considerably shorter, a thick cushion 
may be in order, and any advice about where and what to look at
may still need to be modified.
