Garey,
no doubt you will discover this for yourself.....
I am a tad under 5' 11", and was always bumping my head on the canopy.
I am taller in the torso than leg evidently.
The thickness of the cushion is crucial, as is having the lap belts snug always.
I found that having the seat back in the forward position of the
bottom hinge, and the top reclined as far as possible, gave me the
most headroom. You'll want a headset with a slim top band, or none at
all ( Halo ). The downside is, the stick is then right in your crotch,
so no room for a 5 point strap there. If you build, you could use a
curved stick for more room there.
The rudder pedals in full forward are likely far enough for most guys;
I have to move mine closer to the seat, as I can't deflect fully.
best of luck, sorry but I am not near you, and my plane is grounded right now.
