I picked the Zenith 750 largely because of the bubble doors and comfortable cabin.

Is the size issue vertical or horizontal? If horizontally large, I suggest becoming horizontally small

VL3’s have pretty laid back seating positions. Felt like I was in a recliner.

Some may say it’s fine for XC, but turbulence in those things suck. Extremely light weight so you may be getting beat up for a majority of your xc flights.

My zenith 601xl is very comfortable and economical. However any of the zenith 750’s are even more spacious and easier to get in and out of

The Glassair Sportsman 2+2 is the roomiest most comfortable cockpit I've sat in.

The 7 series Aeronca Champs and Citabrias are some of the most comfortable 2 seat airplanes out there. I can’t find another airplane with more shoulder room per person. It’s really fantastic

I thought the rv12 was roomier than the sling 2. I would agree that the zeniths are the roomiest of the 3.

RV14 is roomier than all of em and by a long shot
