Howdy, Stefen.
I'm `bout 6-foot-2 my self, all stretched out. Most of that is leg.
Lost some weight the last couple years, so may tip the scales at 160
soaking...
Although not luxurious, 29H does a good job. Both my (5-foot-15)
wife and I can fit. We buy airplanes like we buy shoes - it has to
fit. One thing - no radios under the inst. panel. That is a popular
place to mount them, because of the header tank. The radio designers
like `em deep to conserve panel real estate.
I do not have the rudder pedals to contend with. That helps. Leaves
room for camping gear. Putting stuff on the floor is do-able because
there is no jamming hazard.
Most of the time I'm alone. Or with my dog, Honey. She usually goes
to sleep. Guess I'm a very boring pilot.
My empty weight is "officially" 798. From 1260 leaves 462. Gas is
6 per, and 24 of that is 144; now were down to 318. Granting me at 168
leaves 200 for bags, dog and so on. Hope this helps.
