funny you should bring this up.....we had a guy at flight options who played for the sixers in the early 70's (Barry Yates). he is 6'9" and flew the beechjet, and then the legacy! his knees would almost touch the ceiling in the beech.

I'm 6'4" and was hopping around in a Bn2-A Islander in the Caribbean. I remember I had to kinda tilt my head not to touch the ceiling, and just prior to touchdown I would have to move my right knee not to hit it with the throttle when fully closed. It got even worse at crosswind landings. Needless to say it was not my favorite airplane .
