Can you fit a 6'3" person in a 172 or PA28?

[EastCoastLR35]

Im 6'4" no prob fitting in any of the 150's 152's 172' and PA28's. Flew Traffic watch from Philly to Atlantic City for up to 6 hrs a day on the weekends in a 150 no prob just sit sideways with feet up on ther seat and trim, trim, trim away. In fact the 172 with the seat al the way back I can barely touch the pedals.

Have a student that is 6'4'' and we fit "ok" into a 152. Hard part is getting in the plane.

umm, would love to try!! it's kind of one of those "what the hell do I do with all this money or all these women" situation such a burden

Unfortunatley i don't have the problem with "all this money or all these women" lol But just making a statement that the 172 has 10 times the legroom of a learjet 20 series. Thats all

we have 2 6'4" instructors and a 6'7" giant, and they do all their training in the 172SP. shouldn't be an issue.
