Any RV-10 in the Phoenix area for a quick "see if I fit?"

I have a good friend who is 6'9" and weighs 270 trying to decide if he fits in an RV-10. He fits in my RV14 but cannot fully manipulate the controls. Anyone in RV land in Phoenix who would be gracious enough to let us see if he fits?
Thanks

I recommend caution with more "robust" people. The steps on an RV-10 have a maximum weight rating that can be exceeded. My flying weight is 180 and the steps on my -10 flex when I step up. I have a 270# (plus) friend that always slides up the wing from the front rather than load the step.
