I am 6'9" and weigh 320, and I have been flying a stock A model since 1982. Ironically, the C-195 may not really be an option for a very tall pilot. For some of us, the limitation is knee rook under the panel or, in the case of a C-195 or Bonanzas, the external yoke often interferes with knees and shins. I have flown Piper Arrows, Comanches, and even Mooneys, but can't get full control movements in a C-195
