Hi guys, I own JD's IISS now and of course I flew with him in it for transition training when I bought it. I saw him in both the front and back seats and he seemed to fit right into it.

As for me, I'm 5' 7" and vary between about 180 to 200lbs. The front seat in my SS is very roomy and has plenty of legroom available with the adjustable rudder pedal distance. The back seat, ironically, I find to be a little more comfortable if you can believe it. The SS is definitely the "big-n-tall" pilot's titan.

We have an S here on the field and I got to sit in his front seat not too long ago. I'm a perfect fit in the S, so if I were any taller I might find it to be a little small. Don't know the range of adjustment in the rudder pedals in the S tho.

He is a little faster than I am due to him having the 23' wing and the cabin being a little thinner with less drag. I have the 26' wing tho and can fit a larger prop (I have a powerfin 70" on it now) so I can outclimb him by a bit.

Unfortunately I dont know anything about the challenger. JD is the challenger man as well as the titan man.
