IIRC Steve Woods who designed the SkyPup ultralight is 6'4" and fit
in the cockpit nicely. The pup has a design weight of 195 lbs dry
using the Cayuna 215 engine but with design gross of 400 lbs you
need to be a skinny 6'5" to not exceed that.

Thanks but I'm not a skinny 6'5". I was 6'7"+ before my last bike crash
but that's another story, anyway I'm rather stocky. The last time I was
skinny, I was 248 pounds and my doctor was conserned that I had lost to
much weight.
