I am 65, retired and don't have a license to fly anything. I am fairly good

advice or opinions from you folks that have 'done it'?

How tall are you?
How flexible are you?
Find someone that has one and see how easily you can get in and out.
At 6'3", it was too small for me.

Depends on how the person is put together, and what kind of mods are made during
construction. The designer was 6' 2", so you probably are proportionately
longer the legs than he was. Chris Brown is 6' 5" and did a few mods to the
airplane he bought.

Certainly should find one first, to see how the stock fit is.
