It’s been a minute since my seat has been in place, but I am just over 6’ myself and find it tight too…
The R22 I fly I’m quite comfortable in… I did find playin with the seat foam combinations made it a tad more comfortable seating me lower, I am very tempted to do some good fiberglass work to lower the seat beneath the thighs. But the I remember I need to fly this thing first and get a feel for it. After all we’re basically strapping this thing on us so snug isn’t a terrible thing in a way.
There have been a lot of very creative ways people have lowered the seats to get more leg room/headroom… your effort and mileage will vary.
