As a 6'5"er, I can tell you that size is no problem in either of the two spacious seats in a 152 . The real question is whether anybody else will be able to get in as well whilst still leaving you below MTOW and with adequate endurance to get to the hold and complete the power checks.

It has been suggested that more than 50% of 152 departure are above MTOW...
