Default light twin for a big guy

I am posting this here because I know alot of you are coming out of commercial and/or CFI's.

I have a 7 foot tall friend who is starting his ME training. He just drove down to florida to fly a 310. But, the problem is he cannot fit in it. His knees hit the dash and cannot bend down far enough to reach the rudders and the seat is fully extended back.

I believe that the same problem exists in the Duchess that I am using currently. Most pipers I know are fairly small. I have been in Senecas, Apaches, and Twin comanches and they are all fairly tight, even for me. I havent been in a seminole though.

My thoughts are maybe a Baron or even a King Air 90 (expensive I know), but I dont know many places that rent those for intial multi training.

Any of you guys out there have an idea?

Thanks alot.
