I bought several info packets and a couple of sets of plans. I read
pilot reports, joined listserves, and visited builders of several
different designs. I "tried on" one prospective design and saw that to
get in and out I'd need to bend my knees in a way they really didn't
want to go.

Same here.

WHEN THE EARTH WAS VERY YOUNG,
there were several aircraft that I dreamed of owning
some day. One dream machine was a Mooney Mite.
I would have given a left nut for one....
Until I sat in one of those torture racks.

Poof... end of dream!
Ditto for a Smith Mini-Plane.
Ditto for the Midget Mustang.
OTOH, the Van's RV-3 fits me like a glove.

Try before you buy/build, fer sure.
It can $ave a lot of heartache.
