The FAA does not set minimum or maximum height or weight requirements for flying any aircraft. However, you must be tall enough to reach the flight controls and not too tall to fit in the cockpit. To train in the Robinson R-22 (2 place) helicopter, your weight should not be significantly over 240lbs; to train in the Robinson R-44 (4-place) helicopter, it should not be significantly over 300 lbs.
