Thanks for the help.
It sounds like I should have no problem fitting in an RV-3.
Now if I can find some for sale near me.
Hope to be flying soon.

All of the above information does not apply to an RV3 with a fuselage tank. If looking at one make sure you try it on for size.
Mine had the fuse tank and I don't feel it interfered with cockpit/leg room at all...and I'm the 6'-3 1/2" too tall Jones. YMMV
I've flown both types back to back many times and let me assure you that entry and exit are a lot different with the fuselage tank. In either case be sure and give it a test fit.
