Help! I can't fit into the plane...

Hello, What plane can hold a big person comfortably?

I'm a new student, I wanted to fly in a 152 becuse of the price, but I couldn't fit in it! (I'm 6'6" 360lbs) Though even if I could becuse of my weight and my CFI's we'd be over the weight limit of the aircraft he told me.

I ended up going up for my first lesson in a 172, and while much roomier than the 152 my legs are still cramped. Next time we'll be going up in a warrior.

I know very little about make a models of planes. Is there a roomier aircraft that I can fly... I wanted to buy a plane to use for the next year (a 152, becuse they're in my price range, but I can't fit inside the cockpit, dangit!)

Whats a good sized aircraft that I could buy for around 25k 30K on the high side? Thanks for your help in this matter.

Jay
