I’m taller than that and fit in even the smallest Jabirus. Skyfox is too damned small.

Yes, but you have build of a star picket.

I'm also about 192, and about 93kg. Legs are quite long, so does pose some challenges in GA and LSA alike, but:

Tecnam P92 and derivatives - ok, once you're in

Jab (small and "big") - I find the dashboard cuts into my shins / knees in a way that I can live with for short spurts, but I generally don't feel comfortable for what that could mean in some kind of forced landing. I also find the seating position just doesn't work for me.

ALPI Pioneer's - Ok, headroom / legroom ok.

Tecnam Low wing (Sirerra) - headroom ok

Texan - Headroom ok, legs ok.

 

GA

Pa28 - ok with the seat fully back against the stops and down its lowest setting, some challenges with using a kneeboard and the yoke.

C172 - slightly better than the Pa28

C182 - no issues.

Cirri - no issues.

I would look at the Eaglet with its adjustable seats, one has to be a contortionist to get your head in though. Even better If a central single control yoke was available.
