I've personally flown with a Nigerian student who was NBA size, a full 7'2"
He'd fly a Cherokee 180 like HighTower drove a car in Police Academy.

He couldn't fly a Warrior because the seat didn't go back far enough.
He could preflight a C172 and visually check the tanks.
He's had a 10 year career in big off shore helicopters now.
