Welcome, Bob!

I'm sure you'll like flying Coupes.  We do.

You might be able to reconsider your "special need."  The Coupe was designed
by a 6' 4" fellow.

As you look, consider these two things:
1.  You DON'T want to have rudder pedals.  They cramp even my knees and I'm
only 5' 11.5".  The plane flies great without using pedals to move the
rudders and in strong crosswind landings, you don't use the pedals, anyway,
but land wings level in a crab just like 2-control Coupes.

2.  You'll want thinner seat bottom and seat back cushions.  My original
cushions were nicely wrap-around and fit comfortably, but they were not so
very thick.  I sometimes rode in Coupes with replacement cushions that were
much thicker and I'd have head space problems.  Just pick out the Coupe you
want and then make adjustments to the seat cushions.  I don't *think* you'll
need to do anything more radical to the seats than that. JMHO
