Greetings Matt, If you have not had the opportunity to "Search" this headroom topic I encourage you to do so. I'm 6'4" @ 250 and am a proud and quite comfortable A36 owner. BTW, my often time right seater is my brother-in-law and he's a tad over 6'6". No worries. Max G., and others share your height concern but can ride in the Beech sky-buggy of choice with no problem. Happy hunting.

If you reveal what part of Indiana you're from, there may be a BT'er A36 nearby that you could explore further... Arlen: Updated location. Thanks!

It's possible that you sat in a 36 that had the seat cushions enhanced. I looked at a V35B before the one I now have that had been re-upholstered for a very short couple, and I could not sit upright in it (6'4").
My current plane has original upholstery, and I have plenty of room. Either way, the seat's upper surface can be lowered if there's really a headroom problem.
