Tall pilot looking to buy a time building plane

[Chad Lindsey]

I just received my commercial certificate and I’m currently looking at planes to buy to build time but the only problem is that I’m 6’6

I did all my training in a 172 and I fit well enough but honestly I’m ready to fly something different but I know there aren’t a lot of options out there for a guy my size.

I’ve been looking at Piper Cherokees and Grumman Travelers but both are looking like they would be on the tight side if I was even able to fit. I’m pretty new to the GA world so any ideas you guys have would be awesome

I have several more inches of head-room available in my Cardinal RG and could gain even more by tilting the seat-back further back.

Cardinal with articulating seat. Highly recommended. And if you don’t need speed, the fixed gear versions can be very affordable.
