As Hephaestus said on the Ranger thread:

242lbs, 6'3 size 12 boots lol. I am the Sasquatch pilot :)

I too am a Sasquatch pilot at 6’5, size 13 and probably north of 230 so when someone jokes, “That Tim will fly anything,” I unfortunately have to correct them with, “That Tim will fly anything he fits in.” So for the other giants of the forum, what have you found fits and what doesn’t?

My fit list:
Anything certified, the absolute gold standard being the back seat of a Cub. So roomy back there. I can also squeeze into a short fuselage Aircamper if I take my shoes off and a Corben Super Ace looks like it’s going to work (so excited for that one). I can miraculously jam myself into a Sindlinger Hurricane but haven’t flown it. One Baby Ace at my home field.

The no-fits:
Jodel D-9, Fly Baby (surprisingly), VP-1 is tight enough to weird me out about trying to operate it. The other Baby Ace on the field.

There are a bunch of others for both lists but I’ve had a long day in the sun and they’re not coming to me right now. What have you other Sasquatches among us found?
