Matt: I have a 150H (1968), am 5'9" and have no trouble with visibility over the panel. My brother used to have a '66 that I flew quite a bit. I really have noticed no significant difference in visibility. My airplane has an IFR panel, but not exactly in the "6 pack" arrangement. The VSI is low on the right side and difficult to see when I have my Garmin 196 mounted on the yoke.
