6'3" and 240lbs in a cessna 150

Look into grummans. They are very good for us tall folk as the sliding canopy makes it easy to get in and out.
 
I'm 6'4" 190lb, and I considered a 150 for my PPL. I sat in one once and was immediately "nope, I don't fit." Too tight, too difficult to keep my knees out of the way of the yoke. Ended up doing my PPL mostly in a Cherokee 160, with a few hours in 172s, and finally bought a Cherokee-235 (also based in Tucson and did my PPL at Ryan).
 
Well - just finished my PPL at Ryan 2 weeks ago and decided to carry on renting for a while. Renting a Warrior 180hp that fits me well.

Been a great thread - thanks for all fo the info.
